Centennial News Sunday, July 15, 2018

Pope Chooses Lafayette’s First Bishop - On July 18, 1918 the Archdiocese of New Orleans received an important letter from Pope Benedict XV. The Holy Father signed the order appointing Jules B. Jeanmard as the first Bishop of the Diocese of Lafayette on July 4, 1918. The Pope had created the Diocese almost 6 months earlier on January 11th, but no Bishop had been named. Many suspected that Fr. Teurlings may have been named bishop, but the 38 year old native of Breaux Bridge was chosen. Jeanmard was shocked to receive the news, and wrote to a friend proclaiming: “I am still hoping against hope that it may not be true… Poor Lafayette is getting a sorry specimen for its first shep-herd.” National Association of Catholic Family Life Ministries – in this Centennial Year, the Diocese of Lafayette is happy to host a na-tional Marriage and Family Conference – July 15-17 at the Cajun-dome Convention Center. Please pray for the holiness of marriage and family and the success of this conference happening this week. August 15 – get your boat and join the procession - Fete Dieu de Vermilion – our Eucharistic Adoration will be on the Vermilion River this year beginning in Abbeville at St. Mary Magdalen with a Mass in French at 8am. The river procession will begin after with a Ro-sary and Benediction in Milton @11;35 @Wawees, then a Rosary and Benediction at River Ranch @1:40 @Rufinno’s, then a foot procession @ 3:45pm from Beaver Park to Cathedral up University St. to the Cathedral – Vespers at 5pm and Mass at 5:30 with Bish-op Deshotel. Having 121 Church Parishes in our Diocese we would like to have at least 1 boat from each parish. To register, please visit www.fetedieuduteche.org or call 337-349-6550. This is an extraordinary event and we ask that you please consider being a part of the 121 boats.
