A Gift from our Sister
While she has gone to be her God, our Sister Mauryeen O’Brien continues to offer the gift of peace through the preaching she left behind. St. Catherine of Siena Church in Metairie, LA, is offering a 10-week series designed to assist participants through the journey of grieving the loss of a loved one. Using “The New Day Journal” by Mauryeen O’Brien, participants will be guided through the four stages of grief. The book is available here.

Stop that Scam!
An email scam that we have all seen before is making the rounds again. This email says that the sender has incriminating information on the person receiving the email and asks for a significant ransom.
The IT team and Keytel are aware of this issue. It is, again, a scam. It’s meant to scare you into sharing your financial information. Please delete the email.
