UPDATE JULY 13th

Good morning everyone,
 
We have received new directives based on the Governors press conference this past weekend. Affective Monday, July 13 mask must be worn at mass (There are exceptions which are listed below). I know masks are not comfortable to wear, some say it does not work, and others say you can't tell me what to do. All those may be valid reasons; however, I feel we must do everything possible to help stop the spread of this virus. If wearing a mask helps protect someone from getting this virus, then let's do our part. If we do not do our part of wearing masks, washing our hands, and social distancing, we will be faced with measures which will again suspend public mass and that we cannot afford.

    Per Governor Edwards's press conference today, effective Monday, July 13, masks are required in public.  Indoors, businesses  must require patrons to mask.  This mandate includes Places of Worship. While it is anticipated Places of Worship will not be targeted for enforcement, we should continue to strongly encourage all attendees to wear masks.  EXCEPTIONS include individuals  with risk profiles that indicate Diminished Respiratory Function as well as children  under 8 years of age.  Individuals must wear a mask outdoors when it is not possible to social distance in public venues.

  Attendance in churches remain under the previous Phase 2 guidelines of 50% occupancy; however, facilities that allow indoor social gatherings are limited to 50 persons total  (a reduction from the 250 change made 2 weeks ago). 

Let be charitable and do our part.
 
 
Love Ya!
 
 
FR Mark

* Important information from the Diocese of Lafayette

 During these difficult times, we know that individuals within our communities may be experiencing economic hardship and may be in need of assistance .  Attached you will find information from Acadiana Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (AVOAD).   The mission of AVOAD is to foster efficient, streamlined service delivery to people affected by disaster.  

     Sadly, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) data has revealed that African Americans are disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 outbreak.  Here in Louisiana, 70% of the people who have died are African American, while we only make up 14% of the State’s population.   
In an effort to educate the African American community, information and resources have been prepared.
