Message from Father Brady - and a new style bulletin - for the Week of March 17, 2013 - includes HOLY WEEK schedule

Message from Father Brady: 

As I mentioned last week in my homily, we have begun using a new expanded format for our bulletin. We began the process last Fall and the work has now come to fruition. We had several goals in mind in upgrading our bulletin. First, we simply needed more room for news about our parish and diocesan events of interest. Also, we wanted to make the bulletin easier to read as it had become so crowded that we had to use smaller print to make everything fit, but the print had become so small it was hard to read. Third, we wanted to make the bulletin easier to publish, as it was difficult to edit the bulletin because of antiquated software, and this made working with the bulletin difficult for both our staff and the printer. Finally, we also wanted to more prominently display the beauty of our church building by enlarging the image of the church as beautifully depicted in the “Pen and Ink” done by J.A. Allen.

All of these goals have been met. We will continue to “tweak” the bulletin in the coming weeks and months, and our ability to do so has improved because of the changes. I want to thank all of those who have made this project a success, especially Kenneth Thibodeaux and the Knights of Columbus (who sponsor the bulletin and sell the advertising), Priscilla Guidroz and Dee Boudreaux (who worked on the transition and edited the new layout and design), and Andrew Guidroz (who coordinated the change in software) and Bodemuller’s Printing (coordinated the printing of the bulletin with the new software). I also want to thank our sponsors who advertise in the bulletin. Without you, the bulletin would not be possible, and I hope that all of us keep them in mind when purchasing goods and services. Congratulations on a job well done!

God Bless!

Father James Brady
