”THE DEATH OF MR. ROBERT DAIGLE: I’m moved to publicly express my prayerful condolences to the family of Mr. Robert Daigle, a Lafayette developer who left his mark on our own City with the development of Sugar Mill Pond. With the help of Mayor Ken Ritter, I was able to visit with him to ask his help with our New Church Expansion.
I was immediately struck by his kindness and humility and his genuine interest in our construction. He was very generous to us, purchasing a naming opportunity for one of the stained glass windows. Join me in prayer for his soul and the comfort of his family, with grateful hearts for his support of our efforts. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. Fr. Michael Russo..wrote”‘
