The French explorer Robert Cavelier de La Salle named the region Louisiana in 1682 to honor France’s King Louis XIV. The first permanent settlement, Fort Maurepas (at what is now Ocean Springs, Mississippi, near Biloxi), was founded in 1699 by Pierre PageLe Moyne d’Iberville, a French military officerSans from Souci BuildingCanada. Prior to November 1762, when France ceded territory rights of Louisiana to Spain, the Attakapas Region was mostly inhabited by Native Americans of the Attakapa-Ishak and Chitimacha tribes. There were only a sparse number of traders, ranchers and smugglers of European descent. Catholic Church records indicate that Acadians arrived in New Orleans in early 1764. Their family names were Cormier, Landry, Poirier, Olivier, Brazier, Richard, Deville, Degoutin, Coutrie, and others. Some moved on to find fertile land in the Attakapas region and beyond. Others settled along the Mississippi River west of New Orleans. In early 1765, there were 4 families of Acadians, a total of 21 people, who settled on the western Attakapas frontier, and shortly thereafter 37 more Acadians arrived.

SLAWSON During the ante-bellum period and the era of Reconstruction, the religious life of black Christians in New Orleans cast in sharp relief the general experience of their urban counterparts throughout the South, namely, the tendency toward separate Protestant churches for blacks versus the nearly universal practice of integration in Catholic ones. New Orleans highlights this contrast because there the demography of black denominationalism was reversed. In the South, the majority of black Christians, slave and free, belonged to the various Protestant denominations; only a handful belonged to the Catholic body. In the Crescent City, however, the majority of blacks were Catholics, while the minority were Protestants. Black Catholics in New Orleans at- tended racially mixed churches down through the first decade of the twentieth century.

  • The Atchafalaya National Heritage Area
    The Atchafalaya National Heritage Area Selected Level 0 Cultural Landscape Assessments 2010 Suzanne Turner Associates, LLC Consultant for Historic Landscapes 635 Louisiana Avenue, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802 Suzanne Turner, FASLA John Welch, RLA Nick Musso, ASLA This study was initiated by the State of Louisiana, Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism, in order to fulfill federal mandates related to funding and designation of the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area. Debra Credeur, Executive Director of the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area spearheaded the selection of the cultural resources that were surveyed, in order to represent the region in areal extent, cultural resource type, and importance of the different resources in the basin. The primary resources for the site selection process were 1) the National Park Service Cultural Landscape Management Guideline, and 2) a Heritage Resource Screening Process used by a similar heritage area with an approved Management Plan. This process selects resources under the broader categories of cultural, historical, natural and recreational, which is consistent with our enabling legislation, and then breaks these categories down further into themes. The National Park Service Planning Team then consulted with the State of Louisiana Architectural Historian and National Register Coordinator to select National Historic Landmarks and other cultural landscapes that reflect heritage area themes. Effort was made to have all types of landscapes represented as well as all 14 parishes. The individual assessments will be used as references for similar types of resources for projects in the future. Suzanne Turner Associates was contracted to conduct a “Level 0” assessment of selected properties within the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area, and to document the basic history of the site, construct a bibliography and partial literature review for each subject property, and document existing threats to the cultural assets of the region.

  • Religion, Race, and Rights in Catholic Louisiana, 1938-1970
    RELIGION, RACE, AND RIGHTS IN CATHOLIC LOUISIANA, 1938-1970 A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Justin D. Poché, B.A., M.A. _____________________________ R. Scott Appleby, Director Graduate Program in History Notre Dame, Indiana April 2007 © Copyright by Justin D. Poché 2007 All Rights Reserved RELIGION, RACE, AND RIGHTS IN CATHOLIC LOUISIANA, 1938-1970 Abstract by Justin D. Poché Away from the traditionally understood flashpoints and well-known actors within the civil rights struggle, South Louisiana and its most significant social and religious institution offer an essential case for examining the complex interplay of religion and racial consciousness in the twentieth century south. Tracing the religious sources of progressive activism and conservative reaction in the region, I argue that Catholicism, as both an institution and an ideology, decisively shaped how Louisianans, both African American and white, understood and acted upon the mid-century struggle for human rights. From unionization and voter registration efforts among black Catholic communities in the 1940s to the integration of Catholic institutions and the white backlash that followed, the Catholic experience in Louisiana encapsulated a variety of social and political conflicts. Into these confrontations, Louisiana Catholics wove intense religious struggles over the nature of religious authority, spiritual fulfillment, and social liberation. A close study of their experience reveals in important ways both the complexity and the intensity of the larger struggle over the meaning of race in twentieth century America. For Louis A. “Doc” Poché, S.J.

    National Shrine of Saint Katharine Drexel www.KatharineDrexel.org Saint Katharine’s CIRCLE Quarterly Newsletter Volume II, #1 February 2015 Bucks County Holiday TreeFest ended on Tuesday, January 6 and for the second year the tree decorated by Volunteer Craft Women for Saint Katharine Drexel received the First Place Award. There were approximately 24 participants, over 6,000 visited Bucks County Visitors Center and over 2,000 participated in the voting process. The theme was "Hope for the Children of the World". Our message read: Saint Katharine Drexel, a Philadelphian born into luxury, lived her adult life providing "Hope for the Children of the World." May we at this Christmas Season recognize as Katharine did, the child "who may come to school without breakfast, bring nothing for lunch, have sickness in the house and no medicine." May we lend a hand to a child and be a gift so that the belief in the message of the Christ Child can be a reality: "Peace on Earth to all of good will". This message is always in SEASON! NOVENA: Saint Katharine Drexel Novena begins on February 22. We will have a link to the Novena Prayers on the SBS website (www.KatharineDrexel.org). We will start the Novena by having a “Novena & Nosh” (reflection and refreshments) at the Mission Center on Sunday, February 22 from 2 – 4 pm. We have found that the Novena is a great way to begin the preparation for the Feast Day Celebration. This year we will place all Novena petitions on the altar in Saint Elizabeth Chapel.

  • Lafayette Historic Register
    Colorized photo of Lafayette’s Jefferson Street taken in the 1920s. Photo is provided courtesy of Louis J. Perret, Lafayette Parish Clerk of Court. A Brief History of Acadiana Before European influence, Acadiana’s population consisted mainly of the indigenous Ishak (Atakapa), Chahta (Choctaw), and Sitimaxa (Chitimacha) peoples. It was not until 1541 that the first people of the lower Mississippi Delta region first encountered Europeans in any noticeable number. European influence was still negligible until 1682 when France colonized Louisiana under King Louis XIV, and even after another 100 years, the population of European settlers remained small. However, by 1720, South Louisiana had became home to small groups of Spanish, French, and English working as ranchers, trappers or traders. Europeans named the region using the Choctaw word for the Ishak inhabitants, which was Atakapa. By 1800, the two largest population groups were French refugees from Nova Scotia, now called Acadians, (also called Cajuns), and enslaved Africans. Acadians were brought to Southwest Louisiana to clear and cultivate the fertile river- bottom land. Some were given Spanish land grants to cultivate the land along the various rivers, bayous, and lakes. At the same time, Africans were brought to the Atakapa Region to be sold into slavery for work on Louisiana farms and plantations. For several decades, the Catholic Acadians, deported by the British, made up the largest European-heritage population. Additional French and other Europeans settled in the Atakapa Region in greater numbers after 1785. With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, “Des Americans” began to settle in the Atakapa Region, and significant numbers of other Europeans began to arrive between 1820 and 1870; Germans searched for affordable land, Irish wished to escape famine, and more French citizens fled from religious persecution.
