Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist History Book

A richly detailed history of the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Lafayette, Louisiana, tracing the parish from the founding of Vermilionville and Jean Mouton’s 1821 land donation through the Cathedral’s modern renovations and parish life.

The cover features a 1985 painting by artist Randall depicting the historic red-brick Cathedral, its white stone details, and the cemetery located on the Cathedral grounds.

Inside, readers will discover the early mission of St. Jean du Vermilion, the effects of war and severe storms, the construction of the present Dutch Romanesque Cathedral completed in 1916, the creation of the Diocese of Lafayette, and the people who shaped the parish across generations. Additional sections document the St. John Cathedral Oak, sacred artifacts from the Cathedral Museum, and the historic cemetery.

A meaningful keepsake and reference for parishioners, local-history enthusiasts, visitors, and anyone who treasures the Catholic heritage of Lafayette.
