Clyde visits on Thursdays or emergencies anytime. When you register into the hospital, please tell them that you are Catholic and your parish is Maria Immacolata, otherwise, we have no way of knowing that you are in the hospital. |

| RESPECT FOR LIFE |
| The disabled person is one of us and participates fully in the same humanity that we possess. It would be radically unworthy of man, and a denial of our common humanity, to admit to the life of the community, and thus admit to work, only those who are fully functional. To do so would be to practice a serious form of discrimination, that of the strong and healthy against the weak and sick. Pope John Paul II, Laborem Exercens (1981) |

| SACRED HEARTS I am happy to share the “good news” that Maria Immacolata Church in Houma has a support program: Sacred Hearts. This support program is offered to individuals older than 35 years of age, single, separated, divorced or widowed on Wednesdays from 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. in the Gathering Center. The groups goal is Metanoeo (met-an-o-eh-o) (Gk.) that being: To think differently or afterwards. We hope to help individuals who feel alone to face challenges such as: Confused Emotions, Rebuilding Support Systems, Dealing with Specific Issues and Re-entering the Social Scene. We have structured the program meetings with a brief time for socialization and welcome, topic presentations, break out sessions and closure with time to mingle afterwards. All are welcome, especially those whose hearts feel alone and lonely. |
