the prayers and love of Our Lady of Prompt Succor
in times of war, disaster, epidemic and illness.
We come to you, Father, with Mary our Mother,
and ask you to help us in the battle of today
against violence, murder and racism.
We implore you to give us your wisdom
that we may build a community
founded on the values of Jesus, which gives respect
to the life and dignity of all people.
Bless parents
that they may form their children in faith.
Bless and protect our youth
that they may be peacemakers of our time.
Give consolation to those
who have lost loved ones through violence.
Hear our prayer and give us the perseverance
to be a voice for life and human dignity
in our community.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us.
Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us
that we may be a holy family.

To: The Clergy, Religious and Laity of the Archdiocese of New Orleans
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ:
The Archdiocese is truly blessed by the service of
many holy and dedicated priests, especially our retired priests, who have served our Archdiocese faithfully. We currently have over fifty retired priests,
many who continue to serve in our archdiocese in
many ways.
The annual retirement collection on Good Shepherd
Sunday, April 16-17, is used to support the medical
and retirement expenses of these priests.
Your participation in this collection is a way to say
“thank you” to our retired Archdiocesan priests for
their many years of service to us, the Church of the
Archdiocese of New Orleans. I assure you that your
support will benefit the priests for many years to
come.
Please join me daily in prayer for vocations to the
priesthood that others may follow in their footsteps
to give their lives to be good shepherds in leading the
flock of Christ.
With gratitude for your generosity and wishing you
God’s blessings in this Easter Season, I am
Sincerely in Christ,
Most Reverend Gregory M. Aymond
Archbishop of New Orleans

ARCHDIOCESAN MASS FOR VOCATIONS
Sunday, April 17 (“Good Shepherd Sunday”) is this
year’s World Day of Prayer for Vocations. As the
Church invites us to honor the vocation of all Christians given in baptism, let us pray that those who
are discerning their life vocation — whether it be to
marriage, the single life, priesthood, diaconate, or
consecrated life — may listen to the guiding voice of
the Good Shepherd. To mark this day, the Archdiocese of New Orleans will celebrate its annual Mass
for Vocations at 11 a.m. at the St. Louis Cathedral,
with Archbishop Aymond presiding. Those who
gather will be invited to pray for those who serve
the Archdiocese as priests, sisters, brothers and
deacons.
ANNULMENT INFORMATION AND
WRITING WORKSHOP
Periodically the Archdiocese offers a writing workshop for persons seeking an annulment in the Catholic Church. The next workshop will be held at Sts.
