Notable guest quotes:
“This was a very traditional Catholic family. We were the family that lived right next door to the church… We were called on for altar server duty anytime day or night, every funeral, every wedding had a Malone on the altar.”
“We got to know all the priests and nuns that lived there, and they became a very special part of our lives.”
“When you look at my background, I went to Catholic school grade school through college. I went to an all-boys Catholic school… for my high school.”
“I really appreciated everything at Holy Cross (College) because of the influences that were there. The Jesuits did a great job of keeping the Catholic faith in front of us… It was a terrific environment.”
“I can’t say it enough that I’ve lived a very blessed life.”
“In terms of our faith, there was no question about where we were coming from and how we were raised. We were raised as Catholics.”
“One of the things I was very surprised about when we got to New Orleans is how Catholic of a city New Orleans is. And we were blessed that the Saints are owned by a very Catholic family and so the Catholic faith was a big part of what the Saints were all about.”
“We were at the very foundation of a brand new parish… we were able to go from basically a storefront church that we worked out of to building our own beautiful Catholic church.”
“I’ve been involved with the Knights of Columbus for a long time, and I really admire those guys… They’re willing to do the dirty work that helps the Catholic church move in the right direction.”
“When Ann and I got married we had three priests that officiated the service.”
“Throughout my journey… the one constant that I’ve had no matter where I’ve gone and what I’ve been able to do, is that the Catholic church has been there for me.”
