There is an email out there that says "Rev Gary Copping" which is from frpastor585@gmail.com. This is not Fr Gary Copping's email. His is gcmetairie@hotmail.com or gcopping@arch-no.org. The message reads, "Good afternoon Hello how are you doing I need a favor from you email Me as soon as you receive this message God bless Rev Gary Copping Pastor " Notice the typos and the wording. Fr. Gary is more meticulous than this and does not speak like the email reads. Please ignore it.
