Fr. Mark left some huge shoes to fill. Fr. Mitch is making a valiant effort to fill them. Fr. Mark Beard please pray for me.

[@buddybrown8607]

Amen to that, God bless him

[@Mary-mh3us]

Fr. Mark please pray for us all 😢

[@marciadurbin9036]

That was a great homily! God bless you.

[@vivrowe2763]

Yes, but he is giving it the good old college try. Father Mark was one of a kind and missed.

[@billk.5891]

@@vivrowe2763 Sorely missed. I wish that I would have had a chance to know Fr. Mark.

[@sheilaberger1395]

Fr. Mitch this is the first sermon of yours that I have heard. You did a great job of explaining and teaching the truth. I see and hear Fr. Marks spirit right there with you. Your humor is contagious and uplifting. Thank you and God bless you!

[@ElizaLL0621]

Thank you SO MUCH Father Mitch for stepping into the shoes left behind by Fr. Mark, and for feeding us with the WORD ❤ The Holy Spirit is very real inside of you! Thanks be to Jesus Christ!!!

[@annablazejowski3862]

[@wendypicou8503]

Man!!! What does St. Helena parish do??? Y’all get all the GREAT Priests up there!!! Father Mark was absolutely AMAZING and now y’all get Father Mitch??? I may have to move from Houma to Amite!!! God must really like y’all!!! ☺️ Seriously tho, if y’all new Priest is Father Mitch, y’all have been blessed! 😇

[@sorrystaunton]

Heck I may have to move from Montgomery Alabama!!

[@deanapearce2635]

Fr Mitch is from Houma-Thibodaux dioceses.

[@erinduvic8579]

We have constant Adoration. If we’re not at the Chapel, we’re at home praying. If your parish has Mass, Adoration and the sacraments, namely Confession, you will have the Holy Spirit. It’s not a secret. It’s the truth.

[@erinduvic8579]

@@sorrystaunton you have the SOLTS 😉

[@sorrystaunton]

@@erinduvic8579 OK…LOL…what does SOLTS mean?

[@annamariaalba6046]

Father Mitch I hope you’ll be preaching every week so I can watch your homilies each week online from Australia ❤

[@jasonpelafigue6956]

Huge shoes to fill, but you’re making Fr Mark proud. You have a gift just like Fr Mark. I can feel your heart just like I did Fr Marks.❤️

[@nancydiniro6888]

Excellent homily ... we definitely need more priests like you that are on fire for Our Lord. May Fr. Beards soul rest in peace.

[@betsygarrety5538]

Pray for us also.we have our pauline bookstore in Metarie.i hope you get there.

[@ziesha.marie11]

Welcome Fr Mitch!

[@marcihf217]

Thank You Lord for giving us such good priests as Fr. Mitch. Thank you Fr. Mitch for this homily. I can't wait to hear much.

[@Greylock21]

Father Mitch, you are a blessing for these beautiful parishioners of which I know only hearing laughter, through Fr Beard, God bless his devout soul. Hope you don't mind what we called our parishioners who went south in the winter. I was a secretary for 3 churches, a blessing in my eyes, never a job. So, please accept me as a full time snowbird. ❤ Don't worry, donations will come in, keep those homilies precious. It is what caught my ear. Jesus and Mother Mary know you. That is why you are chosen to continue His Church. Like Peter, but keep your feet on the ground. Fr Mark is straightening out his feathers 🕊 🌹 🌹 🌹 😊 🍺 📿 Theresa from western Massachusetts ❤

[@evahernandez8156]

God bless 🙏 you father priest of God Almighty. The Blessed Mother statue behind you is soooo beautiful 😍. Great homily nothing like a Catholic priest preaching with sincerity and zeal and holding The Holy Catholic Bible 😁 and not reading a paper. It's all about the Good News it's all about Jesus in the final analysis.

[@lancemarauder8207]

Good job 👏 !!

[@erinduvic8579]

The Trinity 🕊❤️‍🔥🙏😊

[@christinegreenberg1145]

Hi y'all!!??!!

[@amritapal7740]

I would rather have been able to save all the lives we lost than be validated at the costly price that was paid since I was fired from one position. God saw the smartness of the people of Louisiana and it made him angry.

[@cn4492]

Your church is in great hands now. What a blessing this priest is! Great message

[@delia9431]

TY I love it ❤

[@josh_of_the_kaw]

🔥

[@BarbaraJohnson-fb3qr]

Your parish is very lucky. Your priests are from the same seminary and you have your own parish priest because somehow or other you seem to have plenty of priests unlike us in the UK where we are lacking in priests and not only that but we have no parish priest, our one and only priest who is head of a cluster has to look after 6 parishes! You have been blessed.

[@fsrpabros]

🙏🔥🙏

[@antoniodias6459]

Very inspiring insights in scriptures.... Thanks for this Breaking of the Word,amazing to follow Jesus.

[@carolynalameida709]

thank you!! Amen, let's give honor and praise to our Lord Jesus Christ!! So many good points... I like the name change = mission change . I love the 99 bottles of beer :). Fr mark was so good. Yes, the KEYS ... so good!

[@joannevos6321]

Thank you, Father Mitch! God Bless and protect you always! 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@zoraidaiglesias934]

God Bless you Father.

[@amritapal7740]

Why did you all not learn when I was saying these things for years? We could have saved so many lives. But you believed those who were lying and spreading gossip.

[@annemariebabich745]

Still can’t adhere to much of Pope Francis. I think he’s lost the keys. 😢

[@butterflybeatles]

"Personal relationship" sounds Protestant. The Trinity is not apart from us. There is no relationship but an indwelling.

[@butterflybeatles]

We don't have a Prophet but we have a Saviour.@lik-zf5xx

[@annablazejowski3862]

JESUS founded HIS CHURCH NOT on Peter literally, but on the revelation Peter just got from GOD THE FATHER that : “ JESUS is THE SON of GOD” / Mat 16:16/ CHRIST is THE HEAD and ROCK and CORNERSTONE of HIS CHURCH! Eph 1:22 Eph 2:20 1Cor 3:11, Col 1:18 Roman Catholic Church is Not True Church! Do you know that Catholicism changed The 10 COMMANDMENTS of GOD and even removed completely The Second Commandment- that forbids Idolatry?-check their Catchetism!- there is an empty space instead!/ Ex20:4 CHRIST died for this LAW!- that is ETERNAL! Listen to: Walter Veith “ Twisting The 10 Commandments “ “ The Total Onslaught “

[@amritapal7740]

Shame.

[@denisederidder688]
