"Nonco" Pelafigue Cause for Canonization Documents Head to Rome

Another step completed in the path towards possible canonization for our beloved "Nonco!" A ceremony was held to close the diocesan phase of the inquiry for the Cause for Canonization of the Servant of God Auguste Robert "Nonco" Pelafigue. During the ceremony at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Lafayette, Bishop Deshotel and a notary received the oaths of the people involved in the cause, stating that they have completed their parts. The investigation material will now be transported to Rome, where the Roman Phase of the Inquiry will occur. Bishop Deshotel expressed his gratitude. "This has been a necessary arduous process, and today, I thank all of the officials of the Cause, the witnesses, the Nonco Pelafigue Foundation and the staff of the Chancery on behalf of the entire Diocese of Lafayette for the work you have done....We must pray that the cause moves forward. We must pray that there is sufficient proof of the heroic virtues of the Servant of God Auguste Pelafigue. And above all, we must pray that the will of God be done."
