Many of the standing-room only crowd poured out of the cathedral to congratulate Deacon Johnson and Father Vu, who gave many blessings as a newly ordained priest. Among them were people from New Orleans, including Father Vu and Deacon Johnson’s classmates from Notre Dame Seminary, and religious men and women. Priests and deacons from the Diocese of Baton Rouge attended the ceremony, showing their sup- port for the newly ordained. Following the prayers of ordination, investiture, presentation of the book of the Gospels to Deacon Johnson and the anointing of hands and presentation of bread and wine to Deacon Vu, Bishop Robert W. Muench gave Father Vu and Deacon Johnson a kiss of peace. The deacons did the same for Deacon Johnson while the priests did so for Father Vu.

  • July 23, 2018 REFLECTIONS on LIFE DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY PLUS
    July 23, 2018 REFLECTIONS ON LIFE DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY PLUS FIVE IN BROUSSARD, LA Father Jerome LeDoux, SVD Seventy-five years ago, Harold Robert Perry was entering his final year of theology at Saint Augustine Major Seminary in Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi. At the age of 13, I was just beginning my first year of studies in Saint Augustine Minor Seminary in September, 1943. Homesick after some hours of my first day there, I sat down on the steps of the auditorium and cried myself to sleep. Evidently alerted by someone, Harold approached me and we talked about my homesickness. Buoyed by his words, I got up, walked around and was soon running wild with the other boys. That was my first and only instance of homesickness in the seminary. How many others did Harold help along the way? He was ordained to the priesthood on January 6, 1944. He was the 26th African American to be ordained a Catholic priest. Unbelievably, there was just over a score of U.S. black priests at that time, compared to about 250 now, most of them not members of the Society of the Divine Word. There are also well over 400 black permanent deacons now. His first assignment was as associate pastor at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Lafayette until 1948, when he was transferred to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Saint Martinville. Next, he served at Saint Peter Church in Pine Bluff, Arkansas 1949-51 and at Saint Gabriel Church in Mound Bayou, Mississippi 1951-52, before returning to Louisiana in 1952 as founding pastor of Saint Joseph Church in Broussard, Louisiana.
