I remember my first assignment as a
priest in Houma with a Dutch pastor and his
sister that on December 6, St. Nicolas Day, they
gave me and the other priest gifts, the Dutch day
of giving gifts rather than Christmas Day. It was
a wonderful surprise for me.
Every Christmas is a wonderful
remembrance for all of us as we recall the great
gift from God - his Son, Jesus Christ. We give
each other gifts, sometimes surprising gifts, but
none that equals God’s gift of his Son.
That Son of God was sent to all of us on a
rescue mission, a mission with eternal
consequences.
How memorable, how wonderful is this
time, as we celebrate this Gift from God who
came to save all of us.
Our world needs the continuing help of
God to bring peace, forgiveness and
reconciliation to mankind.
Our songs sing of peace, our prayers
express these desires, but our world erupts into
violence, killings and evil in many different
directions.
All of us Catholics during this season
recall the great Gift from God and in our
reconciliation with God and each other, try to
mirror the goodness of God to bring his
goodness, his kindness, his mercy, his
generosity to others.
The Gift of God given to us we try to
share as a gift to one another as we imitate that
Gift from God – Jesus the savior, our rescuer.
We, the priests and staff of our parish
remember all of you in our prayers, and wish
all of you happy memories and a Merry
Christmas Season.

October is the Month traditionally dedicated to the Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary. During this past October, members of the 9th and 10th grades of St. Maria Goretti's School of Religion learned about the devotion of the Rosary with its 20 mysteries and how to pray it. They also made their own Rosaries which they are proudly displaying and which Fr. Cyril blessed. Each student chose his/her colored beads and learned that the Rosary includes 53 recitations of the Hail Mary and 6 of the Our Father for a total of 59 beads.
Pictured left to right are:
First picture -Aniya Branon 9th, Shawna Nguyen 10th, Kamri Johnson 10th, and Michael Sanders 9th.
Second picture - Edric Williams 9th, Michael Sanders 9th, Fr. Cyril, Leilah McCalister 10th, Tia Gaillard 10th, and Dylan Rousseve 10th.
