The Diocese of Shreveport Has A Case of the Gas

Well at least it is concerned about Natural Gas and very much the newly found HAYNSVILLE SHALE that has got the nation excited. The Diocese of Shreveport really wants to help it's flock out. See page 7 of the PDF download of April's Diocese Newspaper. In fact some of the biggest heavy hitting Oil and Gas lawyers will be at a event to help their fellow Catholics understand all this stuff.

We see

....
This special three-part
presentation will feature
professionals in their field who
have been working with those who
have, or may be, affected by the
discovery of natural gas and oil
deposits in our region. Topics will
include basic methods of dealing
with energy companies and the
use of your property, wise care of
sudden income relative to discovery
of energy deposits on your property,
and the planning for future use of
these assets through your estate......

Ahh yes that estate planning!!! Did we mention the ESTATE PLANNING DON"T LEAVE YET until you hear that.

Actually I am glad to see this and shows someone in the Dicoese is thinking. Let me say when the Haynesville Shale Dollars start flowing in after the fortunate Catholics that had this land pass on may I recommend some money be used for a Diocese wide radio station and subtantial resources into Campus ministry. JUST MY TWO CENTS.
