Called To Be An Apostle
Posted on May 1, 2022 Leave a Comment
By Kim Roberts Each year, our parish observes Holy Thursday by washing the feet of 12 parishioners to symbolize Christ washing the feet of his 12 apostles – our first bishops and priests. The parishioners are chosen from the young adults that are about to be confirmed and their parents, ministry leaders, volunteers, etc. This […]
The Passion of Christ

By Kim Roberts Each season as I journey through Lent, I am reminded of the year my son played Jesus in his middle school passion play. From the moment he first saw the play at school, he told me, “Mom, when I’m in seventh grade, I am going to be Jesus in the play.” He […]

By Kim Roberts I was cleaning out our bedroom the other day and found an unlabeled CD in a plastic case. I could not for the life of me remember what the CD contained – music, pictures, old articles I’d written – who knew. So, I brought it with me the next time I got […]

Advent Reflection – Joyful Peace

By Kim Roberts “Have you ever been surrounded by a whirlwind of activity, maybe in the midst of family and friends, and felt a sudden wave of deep contentment?” This is what Pope Francis refers to as “joyful peace.” It feels like a light bulb moment. You could be in a crowd or in the […]

By Kim Roberts As October and the month of the rosary draws to a close, I can’t help but reflect on the goals I set for this month and did not achieve. As the month approached, I told myself I would pray the rosary every day without fail. I planned to deeply meditate on the […]

By Kim Roberts As I’ve mentioned in previous blogs, I have three children – two out of college and one in high school. All three have been, and are currently, active in our parish CYO. Since this is my second go-round through CYO with my youngest child, I’ve noticed some changes in the makeup of […]

By Kim Roberts As the events of the world unfold around me and my family and I watch with utter disbelief what is transpiring, I find myself searching for answers and finding solace in my faith. I do not know how I could live in these ugly, turbulent times without my faith. I recently read […]

By Kim Roberts God works in mysterious ways for sure. Things that are not even on our radar manifest at the most perfect time. I had been at my job for six years, working parttime and not actively looking for a new job. I was comfortable where I was, used to the routine and liked […]

Practices start in the summer with competition season kicking off in the fall and going through the new year, culminating with the Super Bowl of cheerleading – The Summit held at ESPN in Walt Disney World.

By Kim Roberts I recently attended a Council of Catholic School Cooperative Clubs meeting at St. Clement of Rome in Metairie, and Father Andrew Rudmann, parochial vicar of the parish, addressed the group. He captured my attention immediately with his first question, “How long do your children exist?” After a moment, everyone knew the answer, […]
