Mass for Medical and Mental Health Professionals
Announcements
The annual St. Luke Masses for Medical and Mental Health Professionals will be celebrated in all individual church parishes the weekend of Oct. 9-10 or Oct. 16-17 this year.
The Mass will include a prayerful recognition of those in the medical and mental health professions as well as a blessing over them. This Mass in the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux is traditionally celebrated the weekend before or the weekend after the Feast of St. Luke, which is Oct. 18. St. Luke is the patron saint of physicians and surgeons.
Medical professionals are asked to wear a distinctive uniform to Mass, and if mental health professionals have something distinctive to wear that represents their profession that they do so as well.
Please check your parish bulletins for the dates and times in your church parish. BC
