Louisiana Catholic Blogger Update for Oct 8th

St. Mary's Catholic Church - Built in 1907 to house the fourth oldest Catholic community in Louisiana, St. Mary's Catholic Church on Main Street in New Roads boasts beautiful Gothic Revival architecture. St. Mary's interior treasures include magnificently carved altars, Way of the Cross oil paintings and German stained glass windows portraying the Mysteries of the Rosary and other subjects. The original structure, "St. Mary's of False River," was built in 1823 and was made an independent parish in 1865.

Catholic Tube has two good Pro-Life vids up. See 40 Days For Life - Day 12 and40 Days For Life - Day 13.
