I extend my personal congratulations to Earl and Cecilia Wilson, Melanie Plaideau, and Cathy Francis, the recipients of the 2016 Order of St. Louis IX Medallion, for their outstanding service and commitment to both St. Benilde 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 all three of you on this most deserved honor and recognition! ~ Fr. Cooper
