Saying Goodbye

Father Paul Counce, former pastor at St. Joseph Cathedral in Baton Rouge, greets well-wishers at a reception at the parish hall after he had celebrated his final Sunday Mass on June 27. Father Counce, who had served at the cathedral for 12 years, retired from active parish administration June 30 but will remain as judicial vicar for the Diocese of Baton Rouge.
