Adoration Chapel will be closed during this time.

FIRST SATURDAY DEVOTIONS

PRAYING FOR THE

CONVERSION OF OUR NATION

We invite you to join us this Saturday, July 3, for the

morning Rosary at 7:45 AM before the 8:15 AM Mass

in the Church as we celebrate the First Saturday

devotions in honor of our Blessed Mother. On

December 10, 1925, Our Lady of Fatima asked the

faithful to dedicate the first Saturdays of five

consecutive months in reparation for sin by participating

in the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession),

receiving Holy Communion, praying five decades of the

Rosary and meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary

for at least 15 minutes. We will offer the Rosary in

atonement for sin and for the conversion of the United

States.

Women of Faith invites you to join

them on Thursday, July 8 at 7:00 PM

in the church with guest speaker,

Jason Angelette. The Sacrament of

Penance (Confessions) will be available starting

at 6:30. A visiting priest will be available for

Confession.

Jason Angelette is the Director of the Faith and Marriage

Apostolate of the Willwoods Community, a Catholic non-

profit in the Archdiocese of New Orleans. He was

married to Elise Angelette since 2002, until her recent

passing and has five beautiful children! Since 2007 the

faithful duo held the position as the Co-Directors. Elise

was an angel to many, transforming the hearts of many,

and bringing them closer to God and our Mother Mary.

Jason received his Masters in Theological Studies from

the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on

Marriage and Family at the Catholic University of

America. His experience includes teaching theology at the

high school and college levels as well as working and

speaking at various retreats and events nationwide. He is

also the co-host for a weekly television program on

WLAE entitled Issues and Faith.

To only name a few missions, Jason and Brian Butler

offer encouragement for your day to be the light that we

are called to be in the world, He has also developed

Climbing the Sycamore Tree where he and the guys

reflect on the call of men to search out the Lord and

boldly live out our faith.

We are in need of an adorer for:

Saturdays 9:00-10:00 PM

Sundays 4:00-5:00 PM

Night Captain Midnight-6AM

If you can help, call or email Nicole, 504-

887-7821 or njouandot@scrparish.org.

Prayer for America to Our Blessed Mother

O Most Blessed Virgin Mother of Mercy, at

this most crucial time, we entrust the United States

of America to your loving care. Most Holy Mother,

we beg you to reclaim this land for the glory of

your Son. Overwhelmed with the burden of the sins

of our nation, we cry to you from the depths of our

hearts and seek refuge in your motherly protection.

Look down with mercy upon us and touch the

hearts of our people. Amen.

Prayer to St. Joseph by Pope Leo XIII

To you, O blessed Joseph, we

have recourse in our affliction.

And having implored of your

most holy Spouse, we now, with

hearts filled with confidence,

earnestly beg you to take us also

under your protection. By that

charity with which you were

united to the Immaculate Virgin

Mother of God, and by that

fatherly love with which you

cherished the Child Jesus, we

beseech you and we humbly pray that you will look

down graciously upon that inheritance which Jesus

Christ purchased by His Blood, and will help us in our

need by your power and strength. Defend, O most

watchful guardian of the Holy Family, the chosen

children of Jesus Christ. Keep from us, O most loving

Father, all blight of error and corruption. Aid us from

on high, most valiant defender, in this conflict with the

powers of darkness. As you once rescued the Child

Jesus from mortal danger, so now defend God’s Holy

Church from the snares of the enemy and from all

adversity. Shield us ever under your patronage, that,

following your example and strengthened by your help,

we may live a virtuous life, die a happy death, and

obtain everlasting bliss in Heaven. Amen.
