A large group of people devoted to Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos gathered at St. Mary’s Assumption Parish in New Orleans for the Seelos Healing Mass earlier this month. 

Provincial Vicar Aaron Meszaros presided at the English Mass, and Fr. Tat Thang Hoang presided at the Vietnamese Mass.

Members of the local community – Fr. Chung Tran, pastor; Fr. Andy Thompson, associate pastor; and Fr. Tim Watson, chaplain of the Seelos Shrine – concelebrated the Masses and assisted with anointing the faithful.

Thanks to the National Shrine of Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, we are able to share a few glimpses of the popular gathering. Enjoy!
