Josephite Family, Most Pure Heart of Mary Lions: It’s Time to Roar!
“Until the lion writes his own story, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.” —African proverb “1994-95 Soul of New Orleans Official Visitors Guide” p. 6 (proverb courtesy of Charles Siler)
We need our Josephite family, alumni, descendants across the country to let our voices be heard to save this historic Black Catholic School. Thank you so much! If you haven’t already, please:

Pledge: directly to Most Pure Heart of Mary Parish instead of or in addition to the Catholic Charities Appeal. The Black and Indian Ministry category must be added back in the Catholic Charities Appeal to support MPHoM School. Until then, I will pledge my $1,200 annual Appeal contribution directly to MPHoM through the Parish “School Support For Most Pure Heart of Mary School” online fund (https://www.mostpureheartofmarymobile.org/Donate page) and encourage all to match the donation.

Pray: this beautiful version of the Memorare on the Our Franciscan Fiat website: “Memorare to our Blessed Mother and St. Joseph” Remember, oh most gracious Virgin Mary and your chaste spouse St. Joseph that never was it known, that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee oh Virgin of Virgins my Mother and St. Joseph my patron and protector. To thee do I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. Oh Mother of the Word Incarnate and St. Joseph his tender hearted Father, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen. https://ourfranciscanfiat.wordpress.com/2016/09/06/remember-an-intercessory-prayer-to-our-blessed-mother-and-st-joseph/amp/
