Prayer to Blessed Virgin Mary for ProtectionO Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick. At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus' pain with steadfast faith.
You, Our Lady of Prompt Succor, know what we need. We are certain that you will provide as you did at Cana of Galilee, so that joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the Father's will, and to do what Jesus tells us: He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us, through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen. We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God. Do not despise our please - we who are put to the test - and deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen. -adapted from Pope Francis' Prayer |

Pope Francis Calls for Worldwide Rosary
Pope Francis is promoting a worldwide Rosary for an end to the pandemic of the Coronavirus on Thursday, March 19, the Solemnity of St. Joseph. The idea is for every Catholic throughout the world to pray the Rosary, the Luminous Mysteries, at 9 PM, so that there is an unbroken chain of prayer for 24 hours across the globe. Pope Francis said:
” Every family, every member of the faithful, every religious community: All of us spiritually united tomorrow (Thursday) at 9 pm in praying the Rosary, the Luminous Mysteries. Mary — Mother of God, and Health of the Sick, to whom we direct the Rosary, under the loving gaze of St. Joseph, Protector of the Holy Family, and our families — brings us to the luminous and transfigured Face of Christ and his Heart.
And we ask that he especially protect our families, in particular the sick and those who care for them: doctors, nurses, and volunteers, who risk their lives in this service.”

Archbishop Aymond's Letter of March 16
Effective immediately, all public Masses, liturgies, and Church events in the Archdiocese of New Orleans have been canceled. With President Trump and Governor Edwards asking that there be no gatherings of over 10 people to help stop the spread of the Coronavirus, the Archdiocese has decided that no public Masses may be held. Also canceled are the upcoming Wednesday evenings of Confession and all public prayer gatherings.
The Church will be opened from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM every day of the week so people can come pray privately in the Church.
The Church office will be closed until further notice, but we will still be available to help people who are in need. If you need help getting food or other necessary supplies, please call the Church office at (504) 682-7070 or email me at bhoward@arch-no.org.
I will still offer a private Mass every day at 8:00 AM for the intention of the Mass, for healing for all the sick, and for an end to the spread of the Coronavirus.
The Lord calls us to place our faith in Him, and promises us that He won't send us a trial without also giving us the grace we need to overcome it. Through the rest of this season of Lent, and until this pandemic is over, we must unite our sufferings, big and small, to the Cross and pray every day for God's help.
