Spring has sprung, and the fundraising has begun! The ladies of the St. Benedict Altar Society will be selling tickets for their annual Spring raffle after all Masses the weekends of May 11/12 and May 18/19. Each ticket is $1, and the drawing will be held on Sunday, May 19th after the 10:30 Mass.

We have a book in the back of the Church to enroll your loved ones (living or deceased) in the Masses on Mother's Day weekend, May 11/12. This is an excellent way to remember your loved ones on this special day.

Many Thanks for your contributions of $679 for this year's Operation Rice Bowl! We greatly appreciate your support and generosity for this campaign.

As in the case with many pension funds in secular businesses today, the Archdiocese of New Orleans Priests' Pension Program is underfunded. This deficit is largely due to the growing number of retired priests and the skyrocketing cost of healthcare. This collection is separate from the annual collection for the Retirement Fund for Religious, which supports Religious Orders and Institutes across the United States. Please show your generosity on the weekend of May 11/12.
