Prayer for Priests

Prayer for Priests fosters an awareness of and development of vocations by committing one hour of prayer, if possible before the Blessed Sacrament, for priests and their intentions as a sign of solidarity with the Priesthood.

Would you like to commit to one hour a month praying for a priest?

It can be an hour in the Adoration Chapel, a rosary, a mass, a novena or reading the scriptures and may be broken up into several segments.

The program works like this:

A day of the month is assigned to you. Using the Prayers for Priest calendar, you are to pray for the priest whose name is on that day each month. Mail a Prayer Card to him.

The Prayer Request for Priests calendar, Prayer Cards, and Directory of Priests with addresses will be provided to you. Every two months, a new calendar along with the Prayer Cards will be mailed to your home address.

If you are interested in participating in this ministry, send your name, address, email, and telephone number to:

Social Concerns

Social Concerns supports the needs of parishioners and the community through social action programs and education. We promote charitable works, enlist human resources and publicity for social assistance, coordinate the twinning relationship with St. Mary of the Angels Parish, and seek ways to celebrate racial diversity while fostering the unity that comes from our shared faith.

St. Vincent de Paul Ministry to the Poor

We assist the poor in our community with food, rent, and utilities.  We don’t simply write checks - - we get to know our families, their needs, their hopes, and their difficulties.  Members assess needs; help access other services; and determine if financial aid will be provided.  We offer spiritual guidance, financial counsel, kindness, compassion, and prayers.

In 2019, we provided $120,000 in resources to approximately 250 families.  In 2020, we gave  $51,000 of food assistance in response to more than 325 calls for help.  The generosity of parishioners enables us to help so many fellow New Orleanians.

Thursday Morning Prayer Group

One of the longest-running ministries, Thursday Morning Prayer Group provides a chance for parishioners to come together as one to celebrate the Eucharist, to pray for our families, friends, and world peace. We join together to receive fulfillment through prayer.
