If you will be near Monroe, La., this Saturday, 4 Nov., please come join us for our yearly St Martin’s Day Festival. Admission is free to all, and those who attend will be able to learn about St Martin of Tours (+397 A.D.), a patron saint of France and a wonderful and loving intercessor for her offspring of Louisiana, for whom the Festival is named, as well as more information about Louisiana’s French Christian heritage in general, other bits of Louisiana history, and more. There will be music native to Louisiana and France to listen to, as well as a little French-Louisiana food.

As a special honor to St Martin of Tours, who served for several years as a soldier in the Roman army, we especially welcome all veterans, police officers, and other public protectors to the St Martin’s Day Festival.

Please come join us!
