ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
As Catholics we are called to serve the poor and the suffering. The SPX ST. Vincent De Paul Ministry provides an opportunity for outreach as members come together in the bonds of friendship and faith to offer person-to-person connection with those who call in need.  This ministry is now asking for our support. Please read this letter (also pictured below) from our St. Vincent De Paul Ministry President. You can also watch this video to learn more about the ministry from some of its members.

MINISTRY SPOTLIGHT:
VOCATIONS
Receiving the Vocation Chalice is a great way for your family to begin to pray together - or continue if you already do! Watch the video below to learn more:
If you have questions about the Vocations Ministry, please EMAIL Yvette Hale or call 504-491-1000.
ADORATION CHAPEL

The St. Pius X Blessed Seelos Adoration Chapel needs committed adorers. If you are having a hard time making prayer a priority, why don’t you try committing to a weekly appointment with God by signing up for Eucharistic Adoration? Most of our hours have one person signed up already and need a partner. Other hours are in urgent need of a committed adorer because no one is currently assigned.
Click HERE to see hours that need adorers and partners.

To commit to an hour or to become a substitute, click HERE.

Watch this video to learn more about adoration!
PANTHER PARTNERS
Panther Partners is a great way to offer your support to fellow parishioners in need. The group can help provide meals, collect donations or even mail a supportive card.

If you know of an SPX Family in need, please email our chairwoman, Rachael Thriffley at: spxpantherpartners@gmail.com or text the Panther Partner Cell: 504-252-0042
