According to a report just posted on nola.com, Deacon V.M. Wheeler was arrested by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office this afternoon on counts of sexual battery of a juvenile - actions allegedly occurring in 2000 and 2001. V.M. wasn't ordained a deacon in the Catholic Church until 2018, which is when he was assigned to St. Francis Xavier Church. Archbishop Aymond removed V.M from diaconal ministry on August 2, 2020 when the Archbishop received a complaint about the abuse. We need to take all claims of sexual abuse seriously and pray for all the sexually abused. May God bring grace and healing. I stand ready to speak with anyone who would like to talk about this situation. You may contact me at the Parish Office. God bless. Fr. Joe
We will have a room in the Haunted House. We will meet at 6pm in the cafeteria to begin setting up our room in the Haunted House and we will participate in "scaring" and assisting people walking through the Haunted House from 7-8:30. All members being dropped off by parents must be signed in and signed out by a parent. High school students please be sure to sign in and sign out as well in order to get your service hours. We will also have some treats at the end! Hope to see everyone there!
