I extend my personal congratulations to Garrett and Shannon Fried and Aaron Savoie, the recipients of the 2023 Order of St. Louis IX Medallion, for their outstanding service and commitment to Divine Mercy Catholic Church, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School, 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 all of you on this most deserved honor and recognition! ~ Fr. Cooper
