60 Years in the Diocese of Baton Rouge

St. John Paul II and Archbishop Philip M. Hannan of New Orleans are shown leaving St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans on their way to the Superdome during the pope’s visit to the Crescent City in 1987. The pontiff visited New Orleans Sept. 11-13, highlighted by an outdoor Mass at the University of New Orleans celebrated before 130,000 people who sat through torrential rain, which cleared before the Mass began.
