Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 14, 2019 REFLECTIONS ON LIFE: DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY PLUS FIVE IN BROUSSARD LA By: Fr. Jerome LeDoux (Published with permission; By Fr. Lambert Lein, S.V.D.) Seventyfive 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 at 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 194951 and at Saint Gabriel Church in Mound Bayou, Mississippi 195152, before returning to Louisiana in 1952 as founding pastor of Saint Joseph Church in Broussard, Louisiana. Thus, sixtyfive years ago, during his six years as pastor, he built the church, rectory and school. Reflecting on Father Harold Perry’s historic pastorate at Saint Joseph Church in Broussard in 1952, I penned the following reflections on his ministry March 30, 2009. “Il semble comme nous!” (He looks like us). With recognition and pleasure, the Creolespeaking gens de couleur (colored people) of the townlet of Broussard (circa 10,000), Louisiana proudly commented on the image of Jesus Christ concreted in relief against the wall above the front entrance of their spanking new church. “He looks like us!” they exulted, much to the delight of their new pastor, Rev. Harold Robert Perry, S.V.D. After all, years ahead of his time, it was a bold statement back in 1952 for him to dare depict Jesus with obviously Negroid features. As I introduced a parish revival there at Saint Joseph Church in 2014, I was pleased to learn that many recalled having said that at their church’s birth. Since his ordination on January 6, 1944, Father Perry had cut his pastoral teeth under the tutelage of the first four black SVDs ordained in Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi May 23, 1934: Anthony Bourges, Maurice Rousseve, Vincent Smith and Francis Wade. Taught well by the Famous Four, Harold, a native of Lake Charles 83 miles to the west, was now on his own in the middle of Acadiana, surrounded by sugar cane as far as the eye could see, plus Louisiana yams, soybeans and other favorite staples. Named Rector of his Alma Mater, Saint Augustine Divine Word Seminary in Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi in 1958, Father Perry was elected Provincial Superior of the SVD Southern province of the U.S.A., in 1964. He was ordained a bishop for the Archdiocese of New Orleans by Archbishop Egidio Vagnozzi, the Apostolic Nuncio to the U.S., on January 6, 1966 in the CathedralBasilica of Saint Louis, King of France. Led by Father Thomas James, S.V.D., the current pastor of Saint Joseph Church in Broussard, Louisiana, the parishioners of Saint Joseph Church hosted a Founder’s Day Prayer Breakfast of Gratitude at the Bishop Perry Learning Center of the church on Saturday, July 14, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. Saints Joseph/Anthony Gospel choir fired all with Lead Me Guide Me, keying a 30minute prayer service of gratitude that segued into breakfast. Another song preceded the ritual burning of Petitions written by the folks. A song led into the presentation of a glassetched portrait of Bishop Harold Perry to his family and another to the people of Saint Joseph Church, then remarks by Doctor James Perry, D.D.S., the youngest and onlysurviving Bishop Perry’s sibling.

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.

  • Homily at 25Th Episcopal Anniversary of Most Reverend Harold Robert
    HOMILY TWENTY-FIFTH EPISCOPAL ANNIVERSARY OF MOST REVEREND HAROLD ROBERT PERRY, S.V.D., D.D. BY MOST REVEREND JOSEPH A. FRANCIS, S.V.D., D.D. JANUARY 12, 1991 A few years ago a friend of mine told me that he was very leery of anniversary celebrations, especially anniversary celebrations commemorating long years of service in the priesthood. He was about to celebrate fifty years in the priesthood and twenty-five years in the episcopacy. He gave orders to the homilist that he would not stand for anyone getting up and telling a bunch of lies about all the great things he did. Then he reflected and said, ''on the other hand, I don't want them to tell the truth either.'' For several weeks, I, too, have been reflecting on what I would say today about my Friend Bishop Harold Perry since I really do not have any recollection about any lies, I am obliged to tell the truth especially since Bishop did not give me any orders. My reflections were really recollections about Bishop Perry. They go way back to 1947 when I first met the man, the priest who had affectionately been given the name ''pewee" by his fellow seminarians. I had heard so much about "pewee" even before I met him and in my mind I had subconsciously placed him as a role model for myself. In recollecting, like in reading a good book or watching a good movie, one wants to get to the really good parts. My thoughts raced on to arrive at 1965.
