Just as we have started to make changes to reduce restrictions, Louisiana appears to be in a fourth surge of the pandemic. This week, Mayor Cantrell and Governor Edwards have asked all residents to consider wearing masks when indoors with those from outside their immediate household. They are highly encouraging all who have not yet gotten vaccinated to do so as soon as possible. Mrs. Alorea Gilyot, the coordinator of our Wellness Ministry, is currently working on the specifics for our next vaccination drive here at St. Maria Goretti. We will share information as soon as the details are confirmed. Bringing this pandemic to an end will take all of us working together.
