Dear friends in Christ, One of the things I’m learning more and more about our parish is how many volunteers do little things around the parish to keep things beautiful and running smoothly, that nobody even realizes! Did you know, for example, that Ingrid waters the plants in St. Peter Church? Or that Ellis and Joan decorate the front doors of St. Peter Church and keep up the plants under the portico, adding a little beauty and festivity to that space as you make your way into church for Sunday Mass?

Welcome Fr. Sleeva Reddy Mekala, who will be preaching at all Masses to make a mission appeal for the support of Tribal Evangelization and Education in the Catholic Diocese of Warangal, India. We will take up a second collection for them. Please be generous by supporting the universal mission of the Church. Fr. Sleeva is currently working on loan for the Diocese of Jackson, Mississippi. Tribal Evangelization aims to carry the Gospel message to tribal people who are deprived of the necessities of life. These tribal people have their own dialect for speaking but not writing. Priests, religious, and a team of lay leaders are actively involved first to learn the dialect of the tribes and then to catechize and promote education of children. Through your generosity and prayers, you all can be a part of this mission in India. Let's give Fr. Sleeva a warm welcome during his visit!Read More

It has been wonderful meeting with so many of you in our parishioner gatherings, also known as “Dessert with Fr. David.” I am noticing that the larger the gathering, the less chance I have of remembering your name, which makes sense. But I’m trying my best! One of the things I have noticed on my own about our parish, from the first few days of being here, is that we have need of generous souls to volunteer for some of our crucial ministries here, especially ministries connected to the Mass and other liturgies, such as altar servers, sacristans, altar society members, lectors, choir members, ushers, and so forth. I think it has been a while since our parish has opened up its ministries to new faces, so it’s time (see more)Read More -
Dear St. Peter Parish family, I continue to be overwhelmed by your warm welcome of me. I had the pleasure last week of attending the Knights of Columbus’ monthly meeting. The Knights do so much good throughout the world, and I’m excited to see all the ways they serve our parish as well (including the chicken dinner this Sunday). I am honored to be a Fourth Degree Knight of Columbus, and I recommend it to any man who is looking for ways to serve his church, his community, and his God. Giving of ourselves in service of course brings joy to our souls, but even more so when we serve alongside a band of (mostly) honorable brothers. Nobody likes gutting houses after a hurricane or flood, for example, but when you have a small army working with you, a normally daunting task becomes achievable, putting hope where there were feelings of despair, and joy in work that might normally be unenjoyable. Many hands make light work, and joyful work at that!Read More -
Dear St. Peter Parish family, By now, many of you have figured out that I must like desserts. In fact, it runs in the Frank family, as all my relatives will tell you; and after I write this, I’m going to try to bake my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe using our gas oven. We’ll see how they turn out… So I’m looking forward to gathering with you and your group of parishioner friends in your homes and enjoying some conversation and dessert (I love homemade desserts most of all)… or, if you aren’t into desserts, other kinds of foods or drinks are totally fine, if you feel like mixing it up! Already quite a few of you have reached out to schedule your gatherings, so July will be a fun month for me! (see more)Read More -
Dear St. Peter Parish family, What a joy it was to meet so many of you this past weekend after Masses, on my first weekend as your pastor! I felt so welcomed by you all, and that means the world to me as I try to settle in and make Reserve and Garyville my new home. I was particularly excited to participate in the bake sale, both contributing and receiving baked goods, and I’m sure there will be many more to come. (I wasn’t too thrilled with how my cupcakes turned out using a gas oven, though. I’ll have to get used to it or use the ancient electric oven in the St. Hubert rectory.) (see more)Read More -
Dear St. Peter Parish family, My name is Fr. David Frank, and I’m so excited to be your new pastor! First things first: people always ask whether I want to be called “Father David” or “Father Frank.” The answer is: I don’t mind which one you call me, but I always introduce myself as “Fr. David” (or “Fr. David Frank”) because there are several well-known priests in this archdiocese who are known as “Fr. Frank,” so if you talk about me as Fr. Frank, they might think of Msgr. Giroir or Fr. Candalisa, whereas if you talk about me as Fr. David, they won’t get confused as easily. But I’m fine with either.Read More -

Dear parishioners, I can’t believe that August 18 has come and gone and so has my open heart surgery. My mind is still not 100% clear of the effects of the anesthesia and the hospital stay, and that is to be expected. I want to express to all of you, my sincere and deepest appreciation for all of your prayers, rosaries, novena, cards, and gifts for me, beginning well before the surgery and continuing on until now. I have to wait four weeks from the surgery before I can drive, and an exact date on my return to St. Peter‘s and parish life is still not definite. I hope that my return is sooner rather than later. I’m looking forward to seeing all of you and returning to what was before August 18. Physically I’m fine, emotionally and mentally, it may take a little more time to adjust back to the Reserve setting after being in Baton Rouge for a time. Thank you all again and God bless you. Thank you all also, for adjusting to the revised Mass schedules and the visiting/ substituting priests who have graciously helped out in my absence. Looking forward to seeing you all soon!Read More
