Parochial Vicarmlamyarch-no.orgDear, St. Ann Parishioners:
Please, know of my prayers for you as I serve you as St. Ann’s parochial vicar. I am grateful to Fr. Billy for his gracious support, to Archbishop Aymond for making this my first assignment as a priest, and to all of you who have offered me words of encouragement and those who have offered prayers on my behalf. For those of you I haven’t met or who haven’t heard my vocation story, here is a short sketch - I've lived in Metairie most of my life, went to St. Francis Xavier for grammar school, Archbishop Rummel for high school, a few places for college, and finally earned a bachelor's degree since being in seminary from the University of Holy Cross as well as a master’s degree from the seminary.
After 9 years of pursuing my own will, not practicing my faith, and basically flat out ignoring the Lord, I had a powerful encounter with Him, His mercy, and His personal love for me about two years before I entered the seminary. Since then, I've strived to be a faithful disciple and have had to constantly relearn the truth that without Him I can do nothing. Nevertheless, I sincerely hope that my time as a priest at St. Ann will help each of you grow in relationship with the Lord and our Blessed Mother on your way to becoming the men and women God made you to be with the hope of being with all of you in heaven one day.
May the Lord in His abundant goodness bless each of you and your families with the confidence that He loves each of you more than you can imagine, and that He will always give you the grace necessary to fulfill His will for your lives.
-Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. Michael Lamy (b. 04-24-86)
