OLDP Update
  
   I will be on vacation this week, August 3^rd through August 8^th. If you need a priest for an emergency please call one of our neighboring Church parishes: St. Mary Magdalene, St. Edward the Confessor, or Our Lady of Perpetual Help.

   It doesn’t seem likely that, due to the Corona Virus situation, we will be able to have the Art Show and Auction in August, this year, as I had hoped. However, I will be continuing to work on some new Artwork during my vacation week. I was asked if I would be having an Art Print sale this year and the answer is “yes”. As in the past, it will probably be the last week of November or the 1^st week in December. Of course, we will have to figure out the best way to do it based on what the Corona Virus situation is when we get there.

   Thank you to everyone who has been dropping off a donation to “Sponsor a Priest”. We have gotten a lot of envelopes with donations for this appeal but not very many to help us “Sponsor Music”, which would help us with cantors and musicians at our Weekend Masses.

   If you haven’t had a chance, don’t worry, this will be an ongoing appeal. On the table, in the Narthex, are 2 baskets with envelopes marked “Sponsor a Priest” and “Sponsor Music” for donations to assist us in paying the $75 stipend, for each Mass that a visiting priest celebrates, and the $50 Stipend for a Cantor and/or $50 stipend for a Musician.

   For this to help us it needs to be an extra donation, whatever you can spare, not just moving your regular donation to this effort. You may place the envelopes, with your donation, in the wooden collection box on the table in the Narthex or drop them off or mail them to the Church Office: 1000 N. Starrett Rd, Metairie, LA 70003.

   Thank you for your generosity and for your patience with all of these changes.

   Also, if you are a cantor or musician, who would be able to volunteer to sing or play, at any of our Masses, to save us the stipend expense, please call the Church Office: 466-4511. We have gotten volunteers for the 8:00 a.m. Sunday Mass, which is greatly appreciated, but we would also need a volunteer or volunteers for the 6:00 p.m. Sunday Mass as well.
  
God bless you,
Fr. Mike
