After seven months of renovations, St. Ann Church and Shrine in Metairie will be rededicated by Archbishop Gregory Aymond on July 30  at a 10 a.m. Mass. “Parishioners are very excited to get back to the church,” Father Michael Schneller, pastor, said.

BUNKIE, La. – The geography and climate of south Louisiana make this less of a prediction than a guarantee: at some point in the future, a major hurricane threatening the Mississippi Gulf Coast will trigger a mandatory evacuation of residents in the Greater New Orleans area.

Marvin Watts, who had done everything within his power to become a survivor rather than a statistic, was gunned down inside his car on Saturday night, June 11, just steps from Archbishop Gregory Aymond’s residence on Carrollton and Walmsley avenues.
