Over the course of its history, the Catholic Church in Louisiana has witnessed a gradual shift from French to English, with some churches continuing to prepare marriage, baptism, and burial records in French as late as the mid-twentieth century. This book navigates this process, presenting a nuanced picture of language change within the Church.
