As I mentioned in the bulletin and at Mass several weeks ago, we will start using some of the Latin Mass parts in our Lenten Sunday Masses. On the opposite page are those parts. They are the “Sanctus” (Holy, Holy, Holy), the “Mysterium Fidei” (the Mystery of Faith) and the “Agnus Dei” (the Lamb of God). Many of the older members of the parish will be quite familiar with the Sanctus and the Agnus Dei, if not the Mysterium Fidei, but everyone will find that they are very easy to chant, once you get used to it. … [Read more...]

Pray for LIFE!
May 8, 2013 By
The Archdiocesan Rosary for Life meets on the last Saturday of every month at 10:00 a.m. in front of Midtown Medical Clinic at 3500 St. Charles Avenue. After a peaceful recitation of the Rosary, the group celebrates Mass at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Prompt Succor at 2635 State Street. For more information call (504) 460-9360 or (985) 809-0773. Msgr. Nalty will be found praying at the Midtown Medical Clinic on most Saturday morning, sadly recognizing the tragedy that abortions are taking place within our parish boundaries. … [Read more...]
THE LATIN MASS CONTROVERSY?
May 8, 2013 By
Many younger Catholics don't remember when the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was celebrated entirely in Latin. Some older ones remember those days, either fondly or frustratingly! Because the issue of the “Latin Mass” seems to be in the secular news from time to time, I thought I would discuss it briefly here in our bulletin. I want to focus on three things: (1) the “language” of the Mass; (2) the changes in the Mass since the Second Vatican Council; and (3) the current state of the “Latin Mass.”First of all, let's discuss “language.” Jesus Christ and his followers probably spoke a version of the Aramaic language. But they all probably had some working knowledge of both Greek and Latin because they lived in one of the world's crossroads, where merchants and soldiers who spoke those … [Read more...]

Parish History
May 8, 2013 By
Good Shepherd Parish was formed in October 2008 by merging together three parishes: St. Stephen, St. Henry and Our Lady of Good Counsel. The boundaries of the new parish go from Seventh Street to Leontine Street, and from Carondelet to the Mississippi. All three of the merged parishes have long and interesting histories. As time goes on, this page will be updated with more information and photos showing the long heritage of the Catholic Church in Uptown New Orleans. St. Stephen Catholic Church 1025 Napoleon Avenue The parish of St. Stephen's was established in 1849. Bishop Blanc gave it to the Vincentian Fathers to serve the large German settlement in this area. Mass was first said in the parishioner's homes until a very simple church was built in 1850. The parish … [Read more...]
From the Pastor – May 5, 2013
May 5, 2013 By
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid. You heard me tell you, 'I am going away and I will come back to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father; for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you this before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe. (Jn 14:27-31) How do we define peace? Politically, it can be defined as an “absence of conflict.” If we are busy at work, it might mean “no interruptions.” Some parents might equate peace with their kids being asleep or at their grandparents for the night. Peace happens to some people when their cell phone finally runs out of batteries or when a power outage knocks out the internet and the … [Read more...]
