“Blessed is She”

Read about our newest teen group for girls,

(Blessed is She) in the July 10 issue of the Catholic Commentator (http://thecatholiccommentator.org/pages/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/July-10-1.pdf). “cey [teen girls] need a reprieve from peer pressure and support so they can courageously live out their Christian values. cis is where the idea for ‘Blessed is She’ began.”

“I HAVE A GREAT

INTEREST IN

REACHING OUT

AND PERSONALLY

GETTING TO KNOW

ALL FAMILIES”

WELCOME FR. NUTAN MINJ!

I was born to a poor middle class family in the village of Konpala Bera Toli which is located in the District and Diocese of Simdega in the state of Jharkhand, India. I know most of you have no idea where these places are located so suAce it to say that my home is in Central India. My father was a farmer, growing primarily grain crops. I am the middle child of seven brothers and two sisters. My parents were uneducated but they were very proud of the fact that all nine children were educated. My youngest brother is also a priest for the Order of Jesuit in India.

My schooling was at St. Anthony Middle School and St. Pius X High School in my home district/state. I had a great desire to become a missionary priest since early childhood so I leJ home aJer high school to attend Minor Seminary at Kerala in South India. AJerwards, I came back to Varanasi, North India and completed my BA degree in Philosophy and Meology.

Mirteen years later on May 3, 1997 I was ordained a priest in the Indian Missionary Society (IMS Congregation). My first assignment was as Associate Pastor at St. Momas More Parish in the Archdiocese of Delhi. Two years later, I was assigned Associate Pastor and later Pastor of St. Cecilia’s Church in the Archdiocese of Delhi. At this point, I had a change of pace and became the Assistant Rector and later the Rector of the IMS Minor Seminary in Meerut, Utter Pradesh. AJer this experience, I went back to school and earned a MA degree in Spirituality and Counseling at Dharmaram College in Bangalore. Upon receiving my advanced degree, I was assigned to the staY at the Vishwa Jyoti Gurukul, Christnager, Major Seminary as a teacher and a counselor to seminarians. I served in this role for 4 years until a request arrived from Bishop Muench asking for IMS priests to come to the U.S. to serve in the Diocese of Baton Rouge.

In 2010, I was then assigned to St. John the Evangelist in Prairieville to help Fr. Eric Gyan with the heavy workload in his growing parish. I was later assigned as Associate Pastor to the tri-parish community of Immaculate Heart of Mary in Maringouin, St. Joseph in Grosse Tete, and St. Frances Cabrini in Livonia to help Fr. Sanjay Joseph, IMS. Men I was reassigned as Associate Pastor at St. George to help Fr. Michael Schatzle for the last three years.

Mese three parishes and faithful church communities did their best to “Americanize” me in South Louisiana. I enjoy reading books, traveling, fishing, swimming, and watching games like cricket, football, baseball, and basketball. I am an avid fan of Saints and LSU! I have a great interest in reaching out and personally getting to know all families and homebound parishioners in our community. I pray that you, faithful Mercy Parishioners, will extend your Southern hospitality and welcome me into your home. If you/your family would like a visit and home blessed from me, please call the parish oAce. I hope my time here is pleasant and memorable.

God bless you!

Universal: !at political responsibility may be lived at all levels as a high form of charity.

Evangelization: !at, amid social inequalities, Latin American Christians may bear witness to love for the poor and contribute to a more fraternal society.

Altar Flowers MemorialEach week you may honor a loved one with a giK of $150 to dedicate the floral arrangement that adorns our sanctuary. Please call the Church OPce to make your giK.

Memorial GiftsAt the death of a loved one, many choose in lieu of flowers to encourage friends and family to make a donation to a special charity or cause. Our Lady of Mercy has nourished the spiritual life of so many parishioners and those throughout the Diocese who come here. A Memorial GiK to our parish and school is a wonderful way to acknowledge the lives of our beloved dead with a giK of loving generosity to the church that has been such a spiritual home. Ms. Deanie Smith can discuss beautiful ways for you to remember your loved one.

ADORATION CHAPEL

SAINT OF THE WEEK

St. Mary Magdalene

FEAST DAY: July 22

Except for the mother of Jesus, few women are more honored in the Bible than Mary Magdalene. Yet she could well be the patron of the slandered, since there has been a persistent legend in the Church that she is the unnamed sinful woman who anointed the feet of Jesus in Luke 7:36-50.

Most Scripture scholars today point out that there is no scriptural basis for confusing the two women. Mary Magdalene, that is, “of Magdala,” was the one from whom Christ cast out “seven demons” (Luke 8:2)—an indication, at the worst, of extreme demonic possession or, possibly, severe illness.

Father Wilfrid J. Harrington, O.P., writing in the New Catholic Commentary, says that “seven demons” “does not mean that Mary had lived an immoral life—a conclusion reached only by means of a mistaken identification with the anonymous woman of Luke 7:36.” Father Edward Mally, S.J., writing in the Jerome Biblical Commentary, agrees that she “is not...the

same as the sinner of Luke 7:37, despite the later Western romantic tradition about her.”

Mary Magdalene was one of the many “who were assisting them [Jesus and the Twelve] out of their means.” She was one of those who stood by the cross of Jesus with his mother. And, of all the “o`cial” witnesses that might have been chosen for the first awareness of the Resurrection, she was the one to whom that privilege was given. She is known as the “Apostle to the Apostles.”
