“We are co-workers in God’s service.”
1 Corinthians 3:9 NIV
“Each of us finds our meaning and function
as a part of [Christ’s] body.
But as a chopped-off finger or cut-off toe
we wouldn’t amount to much, would we?”
~Romans 12:5 MSG~
“Two are better off than one,
because together they can work more effectively”
Ecclesiastes 4:9 GNT
I hope you found a message in these Scripture. I did!
Sylvester Humphrey is doing much better. He has been moved to a regular room and no longer requires oxygen. Pray for him (and Shirley) as he continues to improve.
Doug Toney is also progressing. Please continue to pray for endurance for a long recovery for both Doug and Sandy.
Robbie Lynn Callihan Kirby has, thankfully, completed two years since being cleared of pancreatic surgery. Please continue to pray for her.
Dr. Derry Magee is preparing for his heavenly home and will get his ticket there in a few days. He family is arriving to be there for his “departure”. I must add that he and “Miss” Dora were so special to our family when we moved to Kentwood. We, like many others, felt a big hole in our town when they had the opportunity to go to Texas A&M. Heaven will be gaining a great Christian man.

Michael (Mickey) Joseph Catalanotto, 82, passed away on Thursday, May 28, 2015 at his home in Roseland, LA. He was born May 14, 1933 in Amite, LA to Charles and Lucy Bellavia Catalanotto. Mickey grew up in Amite, LA. He attended Amite High School where he became known as “Cadillac” Catalanotto and was the “STAR” fullback for the Warriors. He continued his football career in college at LSU and played on the Freshman Baby Bengals team. “Cadillac” was known for “eating up a lot of yardage through the middle and off the ends.” Mickey married Betty Jean Strickland in 1953 in Raymond, MS. They were happily married for 63 years at the time of his death. Mickey began his teaching career at Kohn Junior High School in New Orleans where he taught and coached for 27 years. He completed his last three years as a teacher and coach at Independence High School. Mickey was a 3rd degree member of Knights of Columbus, Council 10911, and was instrumental in organizing the semi-annual Chicken Barbeques held at St. Helena Catholic Church Hall. Mickey was an avid outdoorsman. During the summer months, he spent time on his custom built shrimp boat, “Big Blue”. A good yield would be 800 pounds of shrimp and 3 hampers of crabs in one night. When Mickey and Betty moved to Roseland in 1982, he had a special connection with the land where he lived and would take great pride in grooming it and raising cattle. One of his favorite things to do was fishing. He always had an entertaining tale to tell after fishing with his friends or family. Mickey loved hunting with his beloved sidekick, Mocha. He was so proud of Mocha’s accomplishment as a Hunting Retriever Champion and played a big role in training Mocha. Mickey is survived by his spouse, Betty Strickland Catalanotto of Roseland; his children, Michael Charles Catalanotto (Toni) of Kenner, Judith Catalanotto Tesvich (Peter) of Hammond and one brother, Emile Catalanotto (Brenda) of Amite. He is also survived by three grandchildren, Amanda Tesvich Brown (Mark) of Charlottesville, VA, Preston Luke Tesvich of Melbourne, FL and Madison Laurel Catalanotto of Baton Rouge. In addition, Mickey is survived by a host of nieces, nephews and other relatives. Mickey was preceded in death by his parents, Charles Catalanotto and Lucy Bellavia Catalanotto. A funeral mass will be celebrated by Father Mark Beard and visitation will be held at St. Helena Catholic Church Hall at 122 South 1st Street, Amite, LA 70422 (985) 687-8422 on Monday, June 1, 2015.
