Fall Garage Sale Our parish is planning ahead for a garage sale in the fall. As you continue to clean and organize your homes, please save any garage sale worthy items you may have lying around your house or garage etc. All donations for our sale are appreciated. If you have any questions, please call Priscilla Gadel at (318) 446-5502.
Michelle Lemoine has been hired as our DRE (Director of Religious Education), beginning Monday, July 6th. Initially, Michelle will be responsible for grades 1-6 on Wednesday evenings. She will also be directing VBS (Vacation Bible School) for next summer. Thank you to Deborah Bess for her willingness to provide religious education leadership until Micelle was hired. This is the season during which parents typically begin to think about registering their child/ren for school in the fall. Please remember that if your child/ren attend(s) a Catholic school which assesses a surcharge for non-parishioners, and you are an active, registered member of Mary, Mother of Jesus Parish, we will pay that assessment for you. This is one way to assist everyone in being able to register in the parish of their spiritual choice rather than financial need. Please feel free to contact me. .Parishioner Registration If you would like to become a registered parishioner please fill out a form, located in the file rack by both doors, and return it by mail or in the collection basket.
