Pope Francis has declared this October to be the Extraordinary Missionary Month. It is the 100 an-niversary of Pope Benedict XV’s apostolic letter on renewing the missionary spirit after the devas-tations of WWI. Most of Europe was rebuilding and the male population decimated leading to a sharp declined in vocations to the priesthood. In-stead of focusing inward, Pope Benedict XV chal-lenged the church to trust in God’s providence and focus outwards to the ends of the earth. Pope Francis felt the same way two years ago when he connected with Cardinal Fionini to lay the groundwork for making this 100 anniversary of the letter to refocus the Church on Jesus’ great commission. “Go forth to the ends of the earth proclaiming the Good News; baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Ho-ly Spirit; and know that I will be with you always.” This great commission can only be fulfilled with a

mature Church willing to share the riches it has

received. This maturity begins with strong fami-

lies and committed parish communities. I pray

that this year’s Family Day Mass and picnic will

strengthen the bonds of our families and parish

community, and help us to appreciate the rich

gifts we have received. Our Parish/School Gala

is also a way to strengthen this maturing spirit. I

look forward to these two events with great hope.

REFLECTIONS FOR THIS WEEK’S READINGS

Jesus called Simon Peter after filling his net on an

otherwise fruitless evening of fishing. Having wit-

nessed this miracle, Peter and his partners imme-

diately left their families and jobs to follow Jesus.

But in today’s passage, Jesus encourages would-

be disciples to follow the examples of a tower

builder and an army leader, each of whom deliber-

ates at length before reaching a practical conclu-

sion. We may be bowled over by a miracle, but it is

more likely we will follow based on practical consid-

erations. Jesus asks us to consider the practical

question: Is it more important to accumulate pos-

sessions or to follow the One who opened the way

to eternal life?• Interestingly, each statement Jesus

makes about discipleship he phrases negatively,

ending with “. . . cannot be my disciple.” Jesus is

aware that the demands of discipleship are not

likely to be accepted. Jesus is challenging us to do

what seems impossible, spurning one’s family,

one’s possessions, one’s comfort, even one’s own

life.• A few Sundays ago we heard Jesus say that

he would divide family members against each other

(Luke 12:52–53). Now he tells the crowd that his

disciples must hate their families (14:26). Is Jesus

really anti-family? Perhaps he just wants to rede-

fine “family.” Look at Onesimus in the second read-

ing. Seen as a slave, he was excluded from Phile-

mon’s family. Now he is a brother to Paul, so Paul

urges Philemon to welcome Onesimus as a partner

and brother as well. Families are wonderful, but the

Christian family can be so much more. Perhaps it’s

not the members of one’s family Jesus is criticizing,

but our narrow concept of “family.”

Question of the Week: How do I need to trans-

form myself to be a true disciple? Who is part

of my family?

murder, please submit your names to the parish office by Sept. 15; an invitation will be sent out to you for this special Mass. The Church cannot be silent at this crucial time when so many of the faithful have been so deeply affected by violence. Prayer is powerful and can change hearts. This is an opportunity for us as a community of faith to pray for reconciliation and heal-ing and to ask for God’s help as we strive to build a better community free from violence and its causes.

Esta campana conecta a las personas con Cristo en Estrados Unidos y en los países en desarrollo alrededor del mundo a través del Internet, la tele-visión, la radio y los medios impresos. El 50% de los fondos recaudados permanecen aquí en la New Orleans Diócesis, para financiar los esfuer-zos locales en el campo de las comunicaciones. Tu apoyo ayuda a propagar el mensaje del Evan-gelio. Para informarte mas, visita www.usccb.org-ccc.

El Papa Francisco ha declarado este octubre como el Extraordinario Mes Misione-ro. Es el centenario de la carta apostólica del Papa Benedicto XV sobre la renovación del espíritu misionero después de las devastacio-nes de la Primera Guerra Mundial. La mayor parte de Europa se estaba reconstruyendo y la población masculina se diezmó, lo que provo-có una fuerte disminución de las vocaciones al sacerdocio. En lugar de enfocarse hacia aden-tro, el Papa Benedicto XV desafió a la iglesia a confiar en la providencia de Dios y enfocar-se hacia afuera hasta los confines de la tierra. El Papa Francisco sintió lo mismo hace dos años cuando se conectó con el cardenal Fioni-ni para sentar las bases para hacer este cente-nario de la carta, para reenfocar a la Iglesia en la gran comisión de Jesús. “Sal a los confines de la tierra proclamando las Buenas Nuevas; bautizándolos en el nombre del Padre y del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo; y sé que siempre es-taré contigo ".

Esta gran comisión solo puede cumplir-se con una Iglesia madura dispuesta a compar-tir las riquezas que ha recibido. Esta madurez comienza con familias fuertes y comunidades parroquiales comprometidas. Rezo para que la misa y el día familiar de este año fortalezcan los lazos de nuestras familias y la comunidad parroquial, y nos ayuden a apreciar los ricos regalos y bendiciones que hemos recibido. Nuestra Gala parroquial / escolar también es una forma de fortalecer este espíritu de madu-rez. Espero estos dos eventos con gran espe-ranza.

Con Amor, Padre Jimmy

Carta de nuestro Monseñor Reverendo Gregory M Aymond:

Queridas hermanas y hermanos en Cristo: Nuestra tradición arquidiocesana es ofrecer el

Sacramento de la Reconciliación, mejor conocido como confesión, en una noche de lunes a viernes cerca de la Fiesta de la Exaltación de la Cruz/ Me complace infor-marle que muchas personas en la Arquidiócesis de Nue-va Orleans han aprovechado esta oportunidad. Este año, las confesiones estarán disponibles en todas las iglesias católicas de la Arquidiócesis de Nueva Or-leans el miércoles 11 de septiembre de 2019 de 5:00 p.m. a 6:30 p.m. Por favor considere aprovechar esta oportunidad para invitar el Cristo sanador a su corazón con su promesa de misericordia. El Papa Francisco nos ha recordado que Dios nunca se cansa de perdonarnos. Quizás nos cansamos de pedir perdón . El Papa Francisco dijo: “La confesión es el pa-so de la miseria a la misericordia … Este es el corazón de la confesión: no los pecados que declaramos, sino el amor divino que recibimos, que siempre necesitamos. El confesionario es un lugar de misericordia. Considere que su familia venga a la iglesia a confesarse el miércoles 11 de septiembre.’

Te deseo las bendiciones de Dios, yo soy Sinceramente en Cristo, Reverendísimo Gregory M. Aymond, Arzo-bispo de Nueva Orleans.

SAVE DATE !

On September 29th we will celebrate Family Day with the 10 & Noon Masses combined into one Mass at 11:00 a.m. The purpose of Family Day is to promote and strengthen all families and the parish family. It is an opportunity to hold up the sacredness of the family even in the midst of the mess that it often is. It is an oppor-tunity to celebrate and cultivate appreciation for the gift of family as well as provide formation for the growth of families in our parish. It is also a chance to allow fami-lies to joyfully interact with one another in connection with the Sunday Mass and in the context of the greater parish community. The theme for Family Day 2019 is “The Mission of the Family: Love is Possible!” .

Liturgical Ministers (Lectors / EMOH)

Please make plans to attend one of the two evening meetings.

Wednesday, Sept. 11 at 6:30pm Thursday, Sept. 12 at 6:30 pm

If you are a reader or Eucharistic minister and are unable to attend call Fr. Jimmy.

Letter from the Most Reverend Gregory M Aymond:

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ: It is our archdiocesan tradition to offer the Sacra- ment of Reconciliation, better known as confession, on a weekday evening near the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross. I am pleased to inform you that many people in the Archdiocese of New Orleans have taken advantage of this opportunity. This year confessions will be available in all Catholic Churches in the Archdiocese of New Orleans on Wednes-day, September 11, 2019, from 5:00PM-6:30PM. Please consider taking advantage of this opportunity to invite the healing of Christ into your heart with his promise of mer-cy. Pope Francis has reminded us that God never tires of for-giving us. Perhaps we grow tired of asking for forgiveness. Pope Francis said, “Confession is the passage from misery to mercy...This is the heart of Confession: not the sins we declare, but the divine love we receive, of which we are ever in need. The confessional is a place of mercy.”

Please consider having your family come to church togeth-er for Confession on Wednesday, September 11. Wishing you God’s blessings, I am sincerely in Christ, Most Reverend Gregory M. Aymond Archbishop of New Orleans
