Deacon Jesse A. Watley, Executive Director Pastoral Services and Archdiocesan News Oracle Editor, has sent out a correction to an erroneous statement that was issued. “We want to make it clear that while Tulane University is free to sponsor any type of lectures they choose, the Archdiocese of New Orleans does not endorse, nor are we encouraging anyone to attend the lecture entitled Can They Do That? The Historical Justification for Women’s Ordinations.”

Fr. Victor Celio, O.P., who for the past several years, celebrated Mass at St. Patrick, passed away on October 19 in Pontchatoula, LA. Fr. Victor was recently assigned to St. Joseph Catholic Church in Pontchatoula as Associate Pastor. Many of our parishioners and visitors were inspired by Fr. Victor’s services at St. Patrick, and quickly came to know and admire him. Fr. Victor was a Dominican missionary, who traveled to the Bahamas and Ecuador annually to administer to the people there, as well as to many other countries. Please remember Fr. Victor Celio, his family, the Dominican Community and all who mourn his death in your Masses and prayers. May God grant him eternal rest.

Pope John Paul II stated in his encyclical Redemptoris Missio, “The Church is missionary by her very nature.”  Pope Benedict XVI reinforces this statement in his 2010 World Mission Sunday message:  “Awareness of the call to proclaim the Gospel encourages every individual member of the faithful…to promote the proclamation of the Gospel in every heart of every person, of every people, culture, race and nationality in every place.”  Please join in the mission of the Church, by sharing in the celebration and collection on this year’s World Mission Sunday next week, October 24th.
