Sedotal, Faye. Records From The 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.
