Catholic Calendar - Oct. 1, 1897 - Dec. 1, 1902,
Kinfolks, Vol. 8, No. 2, 1984, p.
31:
In March
of 1897 the Rev. Cornelius Van de Ven, the pastor of
Immaculate Conception Parish in Lake Charles, launched the
first Catholic newspaper in Southwest Louisiana, called "The
Catholic Calendar." It was a monthly newspaper, and was
certainly the first Catholic paper west of the Mermentau, and
most probably the first west of the Atchafalaya.
