I extend my personal congratulations to Janice Vitenas and Wanda Paternostro, the recipients of the 2021Order ofSt. Louis IX Medallion, for their outstanding service and commitment to both Divine Mercy Catholic Church and to the local Church in the Archdiocese of New Orleans. This award recognizes the lay faithful who, by their loving service to the Church in and of New Orleans, continue to spread the Good News of the Gospel to all whom they encounter. Congratulations to both of you on this most deserved honor and recognition! ~ Fr. Cooper
