There is no other way to begin to speak of Divine Word Bishop Leonard James Olivier. A friend to the disenfranchised, a friend to priests and religious, a friend to his brother bishops, a friend to Clavers, a friend to fellow companions on the journey: a good friend. In June 2011, together with Knights of Saint John, Knights of Columbus, Knights and Ladies of Peter Claver, the Esteemed Geralyn C. Shelvin, the Twelfth Supreme Lady, Gracious Lady Kanobia A. Russell- Blackmon, and I participated in Bishop Olivier’s Sixtieth Anniversary of Presbyteral Ordination Mass of Thanksgiving at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington. The wonderful pastor of souls he was, on that blessed occasion, Bishop Olivier conveyed to each of us a very special request to “attend Mass frequently, learn about the value of the Mass in [our] lives and support our priests.” When Past Supreme Lady Shelvin called to inform me of Bishop Olivier’s death on Wednesday evening, she expressed the following: “I am saddened to hear of the loss of His Excellency. He and my mother were friends in high school, and I have had the privilege of knowing Bishop Olivier my entire life. He was my pastor when assigned at Saint Anthony Church in Lafayette, Louisiana and married Thomas and I more than thirty years ago. He has been a presence whose wisdom and dialogue I will sorely miss. Every time I was in the Baltimore-Washington area, we would spend time together with a good meal (He loved to eat but always said he was not hungry) and reminisced about family, friends, and acquaintances. Bishop Olivier possessed a keen mind for remembering details and never forgot a name. He often said ‘I have had a good life being of service to Him who continually Leads Me and Guides Me.’” The formal representatives of the Knights of Peter Claver and Ladies Auxiliary will be the Most Worthy Supreme Knight and Esteemed Past Supreme Lady Shelvin for the Funeral Masses of Bishop Olivier to be held in Washington and Lake Charles, respectively.

    For Immediate Release Contact: Fr. Michael Champagne, CJC [email protected] www.fetedieuduteche.org July 1, 2019 (337) 394-6550 https://www.facebook.com/CommunityofJesusCrusified/ Fifth Annual Fête-Dieu du Teche 38-mile Eucharistic Boat Procession to be held on August 15 Boat Registration is Now Open The fifth annual Eucharistic Procession down Bayou Teche will take place on Thursday, August 15. The date is important for Roman Catholics as it is the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Patroness of the Acadian people and of Acadiana. It is also a day that marks the 254th anniversary of the arrival of French-Canadian immigrants who brought the Catholic faith to Acadiana after enduring great trials and suffering. Fr. Michael Champagne, CJC, organizer of the event, notes that “having a Eucharistic Procession by boat on the waters of the Teche rather than by foot in the streets makes a lot of sense. Fête- Dieu du Teche on the Feast of the Assumption recalls our rich Acadian history and, in a way, re-enacts the journey made by the Acadians 250 years ago.” The Acadians were persecuted for their Catholic faith and sent into exile from Nova Scotia. Many ended up settling in Louisiana. Fr. Champagne explains that having a boat procession with the Blessed Sacrament and a statue of the Assumption involving priests, religious, and laity is basically what happened in 1765. “In order to serve the Acadian settlers in the Attakapas district, Fr. Jean-Louis de Civrey accompanied the Acadians on their journey down the Bayou Teche.
