A personal PA allows parishioners to use their own audio device to listen to priest/speaker/lector so that they may hear what is being said. The sound is broadcast on 72.9MHz which is a FM frequency (although not on the regular radio which is 87 to 109MHz). Devices can be purchased from William Sound retailers, online retailers, EBay, and the like. Some cheaper units will be available for purchase from Parish Office. In general, the device allows the listener to control the volume and hear better what is being audibly conveyed. These devices are not necessarily for those whose hearing is impaired but also for those who want to hear more clearly and distinctly what is being said. The better the device and/or earphones; the better the sound quality. It is well worth the investment to get something that allows one to hear better. Our Church is like a cave with an echo. It is great for concerts and chorales but not so great for public addresses. Bad acoustics, area of seating, and other factors affect how we hear. This system will help us all out. These PA devices help eliminate a lot of the interference that comes from these negative factors. If interested in utilizing this system, speak to your Pastor, Fr. Gary.

A STATEMENT FROM THE ARCHDIOCESE OF NEW ORLEANS RESPONDING TO THE SUPREME COURT DECISION IN JUNE MEDICAL SERVICES V. RUSSO June 29, 2020 Today the Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 in the June Medical Services v Russo case to strike down a Louisiana law that would have required abortion doctors to have hospital admitting privileges. This is very disappointing to us as people of faith who believe in the dignity of human life. We believed this law would have protected women from the possibility of harmful medical care preventing long-term health issues for them and saving lives. As Catholics, we see abortion as an action that denies the fundamental human right to life and harms women physically, mentally, and emotionally. We will continue to pray and fight for justice for mothers and children and offer them the support needed to choose life. We invite all people of faith to pray for women seeking abortion, often under enormous pressure, that they will find alternatives that truly value them and the lives of their children.
