Gospel Reflection - Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

In today’s Gospel and in the reading from the letter of St. Paul we hear of the gift of the Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In our devotional life we make the sign of the cross and recite the “Glory Be” as an expression of our faith as a Trinitarian people. But what does it mean for Christian stewards to accept in a practical way the experience of God in this three-fold gift? Is it not a call to share our own life in community with compassion and love and to work

for healing, justice, peace and unity?

Is it not an invitation to invite others into fellowship with us in the unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit?

Cathedral Remembers Our Faithful Parishioner/Diocesan Priest Elizabeth Ann Azar Billeaud was laid to rest on Tuesday, May 25, 2021 at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist. She peacefully passed away at her home on May 21, 2021. She was a devoted mother and loving grandmother and a much loved sister and friend. Betty attended Mt. Carmel School and graduated from the Academy of the Sacred Heart. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History and Classical Studies from Newcomb College of Tulane University. Betty lived in Lafayette where she reared her family and was very active in many civic and charitable organizations throughout the city. She was a devout Catholic and always went to Mass at St. John Cathedral. We send our deepest sympathies to her family...especially her children and grandchildren. May she rest in peace.

Reverend Thomas Jacenh Mouton was laid to rest on Friday, May 28, 2021. He passed away on Monday, May 24, 2021 at The Carpenter House of St. Joseph Hospice in Lafayette, surrounded by his family and clergy. Father Mouton was born in Youngsville, Louisiana. He attended the University of Southwestern Louisiana from 1982-85 majoring in Chemistry and went on to graduate from St. Joseph Seminary College in 1987 with a B.A. in Philosophy. Father Mouton spent a year at Sacred Heart in Ville Platte (1987-1988) with Father’s Michael Jarrell, Gil Dutel and Jay Voorhies. He attended Mt. St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Maryland and received a Master of Divinity Degree in 1991. In 1992, he received his Master of Arts Degree graduating Summa Cum Laude in Systematic/Dogmatic Theology. During his time at Mt. St. Mary’s, he was awarded the Hamilton-Mitchell full academic scholarship for three consecutive years.

Father Mouton was ordained on June 13, 1992 by now deceased Bishop Harry Flynn and his first pastoral assignment was as parochial vicar of Holy Rosary-Cabrini church in Kaplan. In 1993, he was appointed to serve on the priest council for a three-year term and in 1994, was appointed as pastor of Our Lady, Queen of Peace where he served for thirteen years. In 1995, now deceased Bishop Edward O’Donnell appointed him Diocesan Master of Ceremonies and Director of the Office of Worship, a position he held for ten years. He was a regular presenter on the Diocesan program "Tell the People" for a number of years. He also held the position of Chancellor of Holy Family Catholic School in Lafayette for a period of seven years. In 2006, Our Lady, Queen of Peace parish awarded him the Martin Luther King, Jr. award for outstanding service to the church parish and greater community. His home parish was St. Anne’s in Youngsville where he served as Pastor for twelve years from 2007- 2019. Father Mouton was currently serving as Pastor of St. Martin de Tours Catholic Church in St. Martinville. We send our deepest sympathies to his family, friends and especially to his brother priests. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Amen.

We wish to congratulate the newest members of our church parish who celebrate their Sacrament of Baptism this weekend.
