The Family of Catherine Frey Fontenot

thanks Fr. Jude, Catholic Daughters, Tonia

Sandra, family and friends for their prayers,

rosary prayed, funeral Mass and your support

and kindness through our loss. We appreciate the prayers,

cards and visits to her through the years, as it meant so much

to her. Please keep families who can’t be with their loved ones

during this pandemic in prayer. This is so heartbreaking.

TO FILL THESE HOURS BEFORE WE CAN EXPOSE:

Thursday @ Midnight & 3AM; Friday @ 7PM. Please

see the sign up sheets in the foyer of the church or call the of-

fice if you would like to take an hour.

Prayer to St. Joseph

Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interest and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ Our Lord, so that, having en-gaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer

my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for me.

Prayer for Vocations

O God, we earnestly ask You to bless this diocese with many priests, broth-ers, and sisters who will love you with their whole strength and gladly spend their entire lives to serve Your church and to make You known and loved.

Bless our families, bless our children, choose from our homes those needed
