St. Angela Merici Church

Dear Parishioners,

I am pleased to announce that we will be celebrating Mass at St. Angela Merici this weekend at 25% occupancy.

You may sign up through SignUpGenius by clicking HERE. Those without computer access can sign up by calling the parish office at 504-835-0324.

Reservations will only be needed for the weekend Masses. Daily Masses, due to their smaller size, will not require a reservation. We are only reserving spots for the next three weeks. The governor will release more information about the next phase of return on or before June 5th.

Keep in mind that the people of this Archdiocese are not obliged to attend Mass on Sundays during the pandemic. I would encourage anyone with a vulnerability to stay at home during this time. Additionally, if you have symptoms, PLEASE stay home until they are resolved - but call us for prayer!

Please bring a mask to Mass. The Conference Room door will be the only accessible door so that the ushers can have an accurate headcount. We will seat parishioners on every other row, and space parishioners apart. Families will be allowed to sit together.

Our Mass schedule will return to normal, with the addition of another Saturday Vigil Mass at 5:30pm.
Livestreaming will continue on Facebook and YouTube Monday - Saturday at 8:30am and Sunday at 9:30am.

Thank you for your patience with the process,

Fr. Beau

Loving and faithful God, the coronavirus reminds us that we have no power and we are dependent on you. We place ourselves in your loving hands. Give eternal rest to all who have died from the virus.  Place your healing hand on those who are ill, and give your protection to us in this time of fear and uncertainty. Calm our fears and help us to trust you as our faithful God. Enlighten our government and Church leaders as they are faced with important decisions. Give blessings to those in health care and protect them.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us.

Blessed Francis Seelos, pray for us. (His life was taken while caring for the sick in the yellow fever epidemic.)
