made to have special coaches if the

With Blossoms Today”

and in the parishes of the South as
well as elsewhere she was honor

Blessed Mother so dearly love occu
pied the place of honor. A pretty
ceremony in connection with the
May processions is the crowning of
the Blessed Virgin Mary, the crown
being placed by one of the white-
garbed little misses. The crown

Evangeline Country Swept
Bishop Jeanmard Reports
Lafayette, La.—The rich “Evange
line country’ ’of Louisana, inhabited
almost altogether by Catholics, is
being devastated by the Mississippi
flood and ten parish churches,
among the largest in the Diocese of
Lafayette, are in the path of the
onrushing waters, the Rt. Rev. Jules
B. Jeanmard, Bishop of Lafayette,
attests.
Priests throughout the stricken
area are standing staunchly by their
posts, aiding their people. Bishop
Jeanmard himself has worked in-
defatigably for the relief of hi.s suf
fering flock, visiting and aiding ref
ugees and organizing assistance.
In a statement for the N. C. W.
C- News Service, the Bishop says:
“Flood waters are rushing through
two crevasses on the Atchafalya
river at Melville and Cecilia in this
diocese, and their volume wiil he
greatly increased within the next
48 hours by the oncoming flood
from the Bayou des Glaises.
“Breaks are now devastating the
Evangeline country ,the garden spot
of Louisana.
“Refugee camps at Opelousas and
Lafayette, hastily established in the
last three days, are now harboring
some 10,000 persons. It is expected
that this number will be more than
doubled within the next five days.
“All are Catholics. The average
family in the Lafayette camp num
bers ten.
“No fewer than ten parish
churches, among the largest of the
diocese, and as many chapels arc in
the path of the onrushing flood. It
is feared that the historic church of
St. Martinvile, the oldest in the
state, will he damaged.
Priests Stay at Posts.
“Priests arc standing by their
posts along the Tcche Bayou, refus
ing to move out until their people
are safe.
“I visited the local camp this af
ternoon upon my return from a
Confirmation tour. It is a heart
rending sight. But the refugees are
resigned to their misfortune, and
