Mass for Victims and Survivors of Violence

Since 1994, the Archdiocese of New Orleans has offered a special Mass for those families who have been affected by violence. This Mass is an opportunity for our community to pray together for reconciliation and healing and to ask God’s help as we strive to build a more peaceful society free of the violence that so deeply harms us all. Archbishop Gregory Aymond will observe the Mass for Victims and Survivors of Violence on Sunday October 25 th at the 11:00 am Mass at St. Louis Cathedral. Regretfully, due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are not able to gather in large numbers this year and will not have the customary reserved seating and reception for the families and survivors of violence. The Mass will be televised on WLAE-TV and live-streamed at http://thedailymass.com/. We hope that you will be able to attend through these means of social media. Archbishop Aymond expresses his prayerful hope that all will join their prayers with his in solidarity with those who have lost loved ones to violence.
