What is a Synod?
Does it concern me?
A Synod (pronounced sin’ ud) is a
meeting of the clergy, religious, and
laity for the purpose of gathering feedback to advise the bishop on priorities
for ministry, policy, and pastoral care.
Local gatherings are being held all over
the Archdiocese, with Archbishop
Aymond attending them all. Plan on
attending the gathering on Tuesday,
August 19, 7 pm, at Mary Queen of
Peace Church in Mandeville. Your
input is valued.
There will be no 6 pm Mass on this
Wednesday, July 23, due to Fr. Peter’s
cataract surgery that morning. This is the
only anticipated cancellation this
week. The church will be open during
the day on Wednesday, as usual.

Service with a :)
We’re working on updating the parish
email contact list. We promise not to
clutter your inbox; we’re just hoping to
facilitate urgent communications.
We ask each parishioner who uses
email to please send a quick email to
the parish, at the email address below.
To those who have responded: Thanks
for your help. To those who haven’t
yet: Please do so as soon as you’re
able; it’ll be much appreciated!
We are in immediate need of ushers
for all Masses. If you would like to
offer your service, please contact
the office or Judy Rabuffo, 839-4563.

Thank you for your generosity.
Searching?
Do you know
someone who
might be searching for a new
closeness to God?
Perhaps someone
who is just curious
about the Catholic
Church? Then use
the enclosed flyer
to invite them to
our friendly inquiry sessions. Don’t know
anybody searching? Then pray and take
a couple of flyers anyway (extras on the
back table) to keep with you -- you never
know who God might put in your path,
relying on you to reach out. We’ll begin
with coffee and dessert on Tuesday,
August 26 at 6:30 pm in the hall. For
more information, contact the church
office, 839-4040, or Eddie Boudreaux,
985-630-9997.
A little thoughtfulness will go a
long way
We do like seeing each other here at
church, but we should be aware that
before Mass some arrive early to use
this time for prayer. These may be
the only quiet moments of someone’s
week. Please be considerate and
maintain a reverent quiet in church,
especially before Mass. Thank you.
Top 10 reasons why we need a new church building (Part 3):
4. If Franklinton continues to grow even at its present moderate rate, we can
expect an increase in the size of our Catholic community. This will necessitate a
larger church as well as enlarged facilities for the parish hall.
3. A new church would allow reconfiguration of our entire parish plant
operations (church orientation, parking, hall facilities, classrooms and office space).
2. The church will only age, and given the confluence of the above needs,
continually sinking money into repairs is not a responsible use of our resources.
And the #1 reason why we need a new church building is ...
