Cemetery Tours and Food for the Poor

It's a busy weekend at St. Landry Catholic Church.

At each mass, Father Gus Gordon will be speaking to us about the Food for the Poor. Food for the Poor serves the poorest of the poor in 16 countries. Click here for a prior blog posting with more details.

It's also Cemetery Tour time. The weather didn't cooperate with us last weekend but we should have beautiful clear skies this weekend. Tour times are 6 PM, 7 PM, and 8 PM today. Tomorrow, the tour times are 2 PM and 3 PM. The cost is $10 per person and all of the funds collected will pay for restoration and repairs of tombs and graves dating back over 200 years.

Come visit Mr. J.B. Sandoz who built a general merchandise store. Talk with Judge Simon who along with General Kirby Smith were among the last Confederates to surrender at the end of the Civil War. Listen to the singing of a Yamba Queen. Mr. Thibodeaux will talk about how he was the contractor who built the St. Landry Catholic Church 100 years ago ... and then went on to become Sheriff. And 14 year old Verbis Lafleur will tell you about his dreams to become a priest ... and how his call to service as a child shaped the man who became a World War II hero.
