Congratulations to Msgr Rareshide who received the Msgr Joseph Susi Award of Honor from the Order Of The Fleur De Lis.

Msgr Rareshide joins men and women like Abp Hannan, Lindsey Boggs, Dr Norman Francis, and Sharon Rodi in being honored for his contributions. Please remember to congratulate him the next time you see him.

BEWARE OF SCAM TEXTS ++ Someone is sending out a text from 225-220-5804 saying that it is Rev Gary Copping asking for a favor. It is a scam! Do not fall for it. If Fr Gary needs anything, it will come out of his mouth and not by a text.

THAT MAN IS YOU! is an interactive men’s program focused on the development of male leadership in the modern world. It combines the best research from science with the teachings of the Catholic faith and the wisdom of the saints to develop the vision of authentic men capable of transforming themselves, their families and greater society. Christ didn’t say, “Behold, I make new things.” He said, “Behold, I make all things new.” A new day is dawning for Catholic men. Now is our hour! The future of the world and the Church is happening on our watch. His mercy is new every morning. A new hope is rising!
