From the Lafayette Advertiser of September 29th, 1894: ST. JOHNS CATHOLIC CHURCH. Fifty two days of assiduous labor by the five painters and artists employed for the purpose, has brought to a finish the work of painting and decorating St. Johns Catholic church of Lafayette. And the work is worthy of its authors the artists, Mr. Theo(rest of first name unreadable) Veiron and his four sons, who are thoroughly experienced hands in this special line of church decorations. (Unreadable words) an edifice that for architecture, sculpture and convenience of arrangement is second to not any country churches here are elsewhere. (Unreadable words) will feel pride of its (unreadable words) while accomplishment is (unreadable words) spirit (unreadable words) pastor, Rev. E. Forge. Father Forge has in contemplation the erection of a new set of benches to be constructed with special regard for comfort and convenience, and the present pulpit will be replaced by a much more elaborate and artistic one. This done will leave nothing more to be presented, and Lafayette will then be the possessor of a truly beautiful catholic church edifice. Lafayette Advertiser 9/29/1894.
