LOUISIANA BAYOU TECHE

Father Michael Champagne carries the Blessed Sacrament from the Borel Center at St. Bernard Catholic Church in Breaux Bridge, La., in the Lafayette Diocese. The center was the third stop along the Fete-Dieu du Teche, a eucharistic procession to Catholic churches along the Bayou Teche on the feast of the Assumption. The bayou is a 125-mile-long waterway in south central Louisiana. (CNS photo/Tim Mueller)
