Dear Governor Landry,
We respectfully ask that you proclaim the month of June as the “Month of the Sacred Heart” in the State of Louisiana.
From her earliest days, Louisiana has been shaped by a distinct and enduring Catholic heritage. The colony founded under the patronage of King Louis XIV was consecrated in honor of Our Lord, and Catholic missionaries accompanied explorers along the Mississippi River, establishing parishes and schools that became the spiritual and cultural foundations of our state. Figures such as the Venerable Henriette DeLille and the missionary clergy who served in New Orleans and the rural parishes of Acadiana embodied a faith that formed generations of Louisianians.
Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus—symbolizing Christ’s mercy, charity, and sacrificial love—has long held a cherished place in Catholic life, especially in French and Creole communities that shaped Louisiana’s identity. June, traditionally dedicated to the Sacred Heart, provides an opportunity to recognize the profound role that faith has played in our state’s history, culture, and public life.
Such a proclamation would honor Louisiana’s historic roots, acknowledge the contributions of her Catholic citizens past and present, and encourage reflection on the virtues of charity, fidelity, and devotion to the common good.
With gratitude for your service to our state, we respectfully submit this request.

Governor Landry, as the faithful Catholic I know you are, I hope you will join us in this! God bless, Leslie Alexander, Lafayette
Consider the history of Haiti versus the Dominican Republic. Haiti consecrated itself to demons and the Dominican Republic to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Today, from satellites in space, you can literally see how Haiti is a barren dusty land stripped of natural resources, while the Dominican Republic is lush and vibrant.
Louisiana has the distinct honor of being the only state of the union that that has parishes in lieu of counties. To dedicate the month of June to the Sacred Heart of Jesus would be a confirmation of the seeds planted as a Christian state, that with this dedication all are made aware of our roots and we pray will continue grow in our Lord’s honor!
Real prestige for public authorities, they get when they defend the rights of God. In the land of the "In God we Trust" this is what the voters are looking for.
Dear Governor Landry, please honor this humble request. If the polls are accurate, over one quarter of Louisianians are Catholic and eighty six percent call themselves Christians, so this not a controversial request and will afford our great state many graces from heaven if implemented. God Bless
Because Jesus is Everything to me
Because of my Catholic lineage, I respectfully ask for your help.

For many reasons the Sacred Heart synmbolizes L ove and what Greater Heart than that of Jesus's. The male members of our family were all taught by the Sacred Heart Brothers.
