August 15 is a very special day for Catholics in Acadiana as it celebrates the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is also a day that resonates in the hearts of all those who embrace their Acadian heritage. In honor of this day, a Eucharistic procession will take place along Bayou Teche from Leonville to St. Martinville. About 50 boats will disembark at 9:30 a.m., retracing the steps of local residents' Acadian ancestors along Bayou Teche. The procession will make several stops along the way for a recitation of the Rosary and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
