In a letter dated Jan. 26 that was addressed to the Holy Ghost congregation and read at Masses the weekend of Jan. 30-31, Father Thomas Condon OP, Prior Provincial of the Dominican Friars of the Province of St. Martin de Porres, said that “after much prayer and deliberation, the province has come to the painful decision that we must withdraw from Holy Ghost Parish and St. Albert Catholic Student Center and close the related Dominican Community in Hammond by June 30, 2022. “We are returning the parish to Holy Ghost Church in Hammond.

  • Solemn Consecration and Installation of Monsignor Francis Malone As the Third Bishop of Shreveport Tuesday, January 28, 2020, 2:00 P.M
    SOLEMN CONSECRATION AND INSTALLATION OF MONSIGNOR FRANCIS MALONE AS THE THIRD BISHOP OF SHREVEPORT TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 2020, 2:00 P.M. CONVENTION CENTER, SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA Your Excellency Metropolitan Gregory Aymond, Your Excellency Bishop Anthony Taylor, Your Excellency Bishop Michael Duca, Your Excellency Bishop Designate Francis Malone, My Brother Archbishops and Bishops, Dear Priests, Deacons, Consecrated Religious, Lay Faithful of the Diocese of Shreveport, Dear Friends: I am truly pleased to be with you here for the Consecration and Installation of the third Bishop of Shreveport, His Excellency Francis Malone. I want to express my gratitude to Bishop Michael Duca of Baton Rouge for his years of service as Ordinary of Shreveport and to the Very Reverend Peter Mangum who has served as Administrator of the Diocese for more than a year. Bishop-Elect Malone, in a recent visit of American Bishops to Rome, the Holy Father told them: “You must be close to God in your prayer and your personal life; you must be close to your priests as a father and walk with them; and you must be close to your people.” (Remarks to Bishops of Ecclesiastical Region I, November 2019) Your years of experience in the Diocese of Little Rock have taught you what it means to be close to the People of God. These last years as Pastor of Christ the King, have honed your pastoral skills, which complement your administrative gifts. At your press conference, tongue-in-cheek, you said, “I’m a big shot!” You are a “big shot” with “big responsibilities.” The Big “Big Shot” – Pope Francis – ordained some bishops at the Vatican Basilica and, in the course of his homily, reflected: “In the Church entrusted to you, be faithful custodians and dispensers of the mysteries of Christ.

  • HISTORY of the NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE for GIRL SCOUTS and CAMP FIRE by Virginia Reed
    Revised 3/11/2019 HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE FOR GIRL SCOUTS AND CAMP FIRE By Virginia Reed The present National Catholic Committee for Girl Scouts and Camp Fire dates back to the early days of the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) and the National Catholic Welfare Conference. Although it has functioned in various capacities and under several different names, this committee's purpose has remained the same: to minister to the Catholic girls in Girl Scouts (at first) and Camp Fire (since 1973). Beginnings The relationship between Girl Scouting and Catholic youth ministry is the result of the foresight of Juliette Gordon Low. Soon after founding the Girl Scout movement in 1912, Low traveled to Baltimore to meet James Cardinal Gibbons and consult with him about her project. Five years later, Joseph Patrick Cardinal Hayes of New York appointed a representative to the Girl Scout National Board of Directors. The cardinal wanted to determine whether the Girl Scout program, which was so fine in theory, was equally sound in practice. Satisfied on this point, His Eminence publicly declared the program suitable for Catholic girls. In due course, the four U.S. Cardinals and the U.S. Catholic hierarchy followed suit. In the early 1920's, Girl Scout troops were formed in parochial schools and Catholic women eagerly became leaders in the program. When CYO was established in the early 1930's, Girl Scouting became its ally as a separate cooperative enterprise. In 1936, sociologist Father Edward Roberts Moore of Catholic charities, Archdiocese of New York, studied and approved the Girl Scout program because it was fitting for girls to beome "participating citizens in a modern, social democracy." This support further enhanced the relationship between the Catholic church and Girl Scouting.

  • La. Hwy. 22 Bridge Construction and Drainage Improvements
    REGIONAL RETENTION/DETENTION PROJECTS AND NATURAL FLOOD MANAGEMENT STATE PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS Louisiana Highway 22 Bridge Construction and Drainage Improvements PROGRAM DESCRIPTION In 2020, the Louisiana Watershed Initiative’s five coordinating state agencies selected 15 projects to receive $163 million in federal funding. The projects were selected because they align with the missions of these agencies and the long-term resilience objectives of LWI. Specifically, the projects will reduce flood risk in communities throughout the state, store floodwaters in ways that enhance natural habitats and move people in flood-prone areas out of harm’s way. As the granting agency of these funds, the Louisiana Office of Community Development reviewed the projects to ensure they meet HUD requirements and align with the state’s $1.2 billion CDBG-MIT Action Plan. PROJECT DESCRIPTION La. Hwy. 22 functions as a barrier impeding natural hydrology in the Amite River floodplain. The highway prevents the natural flow of water into the adjacent McElroy Swamp, increases surface elevation in the river and exacerbates area flood risk. The La. Hwy. 22 Bridge Construction and Drainage Improvements project includes the construction of two bridge structures and the excavation of two drainage basins for the purpose of improving local hydrology, reducing area flood risk and restoring the McElroy Swamp. COST ESTIMATE $ 41.7 million Aerial view of La. Hwy. 22 where project improvements will be implemented to reduce flood risk upstream of the highway and restore natrual hydrology downstream of the highway. PROJECT DURATION PLAN CONSISTENCY LOUISIANA CDBG-MIT MASTER ACTION PLAN (2020) Planning/Engineering Complete The project is consistent with the Louisiana CDBG- and Design MIT Master Action Plan’s focus on implementing “state-identified regional retention/detention, natural flood management and infrastructure projects.” OCD Construction/ TBD identifies flood control projects as unmet mitigation Implementation needs.
