A Mass of Remembrance for Archbishop Harry J. Flynn will be celebrated at 5:30 p.m. Monday, October 7 at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist.
Archbishop Flynn died Sunday evening in Minnesota, where he served as Archbishop Emeritus of the Archdiocese of Minneapolis-St. Paul.
Archbishop Flynn was also a much-loved shepherd of the people of the Diocese of Lafayette. He was consecrated as Coadjutor Bishop for our Diocese in 1986, and served as Bishop from 1989 to 1994, before going on to serve the Catholic faithful in Minnesota.
The Mass of Remembrance will begin at 5:30 p.m., followed by a procession to the Grotto at L’Eveche for the recitation of a multi-lingual Rosary. October 7 is the Feast Day of Our Lady of the Rosary. Bishop Douglas Deshotel will serve as celebrant of the Mass.
All are invited to attend.
