The Eucharistic Revival and the Blessing of the Mississippi River are part of a significant religious event known as the Fete-Dieu du Mississippi. The event starts in Baton Rouge on August 14 and ends in New Orleans on August 15.   Of particular note, the smallest of our three church bells (recently removed from our church tower) will be on the boat leading the river procession and rung along with other bells to announce the procession along the way.  
On August 15, the Eucharistic procession will include stops along the river at St. Peter Church in Reserve and under the Hale Boggs bridge in Luling.  The Reserve River Rally activities will begin at 11:00 am and the Luling River Rally activities will begin at 12:30 pm.
