Centennial News Our Second Bishop Appointed - On March 13, 1956, Pope Pius XII accepted the retire- ment of Bishop Jules Jeanmard after 37 years of episcopal ministry to the new diocese. The Holy Father appointed Bishop as the second Bishop of Lafayette. Bishop Schexnayder, born and raised along the banks of the Mississippi River, had served as the Auxilia- ry Bishop under Bishop Jeanmard for five years prior to his appointment as Bishop. Schexnayder would oversee the diocese for 16 years until his retirement in 1972. He attended the Second Vat- ican Council and led the local Church through its early implementation. His episcopal motto, taken from the Salve Regina, was “Ad Te Clamamus ” or “To Thee do we cry. ”

Second Centennial Deanery Mass will be at St. Landry , our 2nd oldest canoni- cally established Church in the Diocese, on March 23 at 6:30pm in Opelousas. All Clergy and Laity are invited to attend this Mass and reception with our Bishop Deshotel as we continue to honor and celebrate this Centennial Jubilee Year of our Diocese. This is an exciting year and it is good for all of us from all parts of the Diocese of Lafayette to come together for the Centennial Events to reflect upon our past and recommit to the future that God is leading us into. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend.
