Bishop Welcomes Texas Friends

Howdy Bishop! Bishop Douglas Deshotel welcomed a very special group of friends to Lafayette today! The St. Luke Silver Seniors traveled from Texas to visit their former Pastor and dear friend Bishop Deshotel. Bishop Deshotel created the organization known as "The St. Luke Silver Seniors" when he was pastor of St. Luke Catholic Church in Irving, Texas from 1995-2001. The group was created to unite the senior members of St. Luke Parish for the purpose of sharing a social life, including religious and educational events. The Bishop's good friends traveled to Lafayette to be reunited with their former pastor and to take a tour of St. John Cathedral, the cemetery and the gift shop. And like good Texans, they came bearing gifts, including a cowboy hat for Bishop Deshotel and a taste of Texas complete with BBQ!
