New Father Lafleur website

Last week, we teased that something new was coming this Pentecost. On Pentecost each year, we've done something new on the website and the blog to get the Good News out into the world. Last year, we added recordings of homilies to the website ... podcasts. This year, we have a new website to announce!

The new website is called http://fatherlafleur.org/ and it is the official website to promote the cause of Lieutenant Joseph Verbis Lafleur. At the website, you can find biography information along with a timeline of Father Lafleur's life. There is a page for the latest News and Events. There is a detailed page on the monument in front of St. Landry Catholic Church that honors the memory of Father Lafleur, sculpted by Italian artist Franco Alessandrini .. his website is here: http://www.francoalessandrini.net/ On the monument page, there is a 3D model of the statue that allows you to zoom in/zoom out and "spin" the statue around for more detailed looking.

There is also a page that contains prayers, rosary meditations, downloadable prayer cards.

Lastly, there is a page on a new book on Father Lafleur's life, "But He Dies Not". This book, written by Lieutenant Colonel Peter Joseph Guerra and Suzanne Dore' Guerra and published by Andrepont Printing, is the most detailed book ever written about Father Lafleur's life. It contains detailed information from Father Lafleur's childhood, his time in the seminary, and his early years as a priest in Abbeville. The book contains details of his military service from eyewitnesses who survived and saw the courage of Father Lafleur even as he gave the ultimate sacrifice.

The book should be published sometime this summer and we'll update you with information as it becomes available.

Check out the new website here http://fatherlafleur.org/  and we'll let you know as new updates on the book as well as other events come along.
