n A Brief History of the Diocese

Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, Natchitoches On July 29, 1853, Pope Pius IX created a diocese in the oldest settlement in the Louisiana Purchase, Le Post de Natchitoches. It had only five priests and five churches to serve 20,000 Catholics who were spread throughout the entire northern half of Louisiana.

For 22 years, Bishop Auguste Marie Martin zealously recruited priests and religious from Europe. He established a seminary to train native clergy, started “priests schools,” and established numerous missions.

Bishop Francis Xavier Leray, after only two years as the second Bishop of Natchitoches, was named coadjutor to the Archbishop of New Orleans and attempted vigorously to fill both positions. A Frenchman by birth, he realized that most of his flock were native English-speaking people, so he ordered his priests and religious to pray, teach, and communicate in English.

The most notable contribution of the third Bishop, Antoine Durier, was in the field of Catholic education. His first pastoral letter ordered “the establishment of a Catholic school near every church” and organized a Catholic School Board in 1889.

Bishop Cornelius Van de Ven had the distinction of being both the fourth (and last) Bishop of Natchitoches and the first Bishop of Alexandria. In 1910, the See City was transferred to Alexandria and St. Francis Xavier Church was designated its Cathedral.

Van de Ven established north Louisiana’s first

St. Francis Xavier Cathedral, Alexandria

Catholic hospital--Schumpert Medical Center in Shreveport.

The fifth Bishop and first American-born was Daniel Desmond, whose 12 years in office were marked by rapid growth in the diocese. He established 10 new schools, 22 parishes and 25 new churches.

During the next 27 years, Bishop Charles Pascal Greco led his generous and growing flock in a phenomenal building program that included the establishment of 33 new parishes and the construction of more than 125 churches and chapels, 100 convents and rectories, 50 schools, and 7 health care facilities. He also built St. Mary’s Residential Training School and Maryhill.

Bishop Lawrence P. Graves, 7th Bishop, was influential in establishing or improving continuing education for priests; offices for

2

religious education and youth ministry; Maryhill; the ministries of development and permanent diaconate; communication apostolate in newspaper, radio and tv; and the Bishop’s Stewardship Appeal.

Bishop William B. Friend became the eighth bishop, but on July 29, 1986, he became the head of the new Diocese of Shreveport, and John C. Favalora was consecrated the ninth Bishop of the diocese. Six years later, Favalora became Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Miami.

Tenth Bishop, Sam G. Jacobs became a national icon for the Charismatic Movement in the 90s. He combined his love for the youth with the movement and created Steubenville South Youth Conference, and at the time was one of the largest Catholic youth conferences in the U.S. In 2003, he became the Bishop of the Diocese of Houma-Thibodeaux.

The 11th Bishop of the Diocese of Alexandria, Ronald P. Herzog, was ordained on Jan. 5, 2005. During his 11 years, he established two new parishes and revitalized the Permanent Diaconate program. Herzog championed modern communication during his tenure, expanding the reach of the official diocesan newspaper and establishing a dynamic website.

On September 23, 2016, Bishop David P. Talley was appointed coadjutor to Bishop Herzog and in February, 2017, he was named the 12th Bishop of Alexandria upon Bishop Herzog’s retirement.

God has called me here to be with you as your bishop and your brother. Central Louisiana is where we live and it is truly a beautiful portion of God’s good earth. The land, the waterways, but most importantly the beauty of the people -- in both the diversity of cultures and the unity of faith.

When we think about the Diocese of Alexandria as Roman Catholics, as missionary disciples of Jesus of Nazareth, what comes to mind?

Our parishes, our cities, our towns, our farms and ranches, surely, but more importantly, we think of the generations of families who have been here from the very beginning . . the place and the communities where faith is born.

As I visit and celebrate Holy Mass in each of our fifty parishes and twenty missions, I marvel at the faith of the people. We are one people. One people of God. May God’s blessing be with each of you and your families.

The Most Reverend David P. Talley. M.S.W., J.C.D. Bishop of the Diocese of Alexandria, LA

n Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem

Phone: (318) 452-6443 Pierre Allemond, Coordinator The Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem is a prestigious Catholic chivalric order of Knighthood that traces its roots to Duke Godfrey of Bouillon, principal leader of the First Crusade. The fundamental purpose of the Order is the preservation of the faith in the Holy Land. To this end it must provide spiritual, moral and material support to the Christians who still live there.

Maryhill is a self-service center, which means events are self-hosted.

The space has been provided and the renting group is responsible for its own program, all consumable supplies, meals, on-site housing, preparation, and clean-up. There are local caterers and service companies willing to offer assistance.
