Good morning, Lafayette.

Since January, volunteers from Harvest Call and Catholic Charities have been repairing storm-damaged homes in Acadia, St. Landry, and Lafayette parishes to help residents affected by Hurricane Delta and earlier storms.

The effort provides essential upgrades—including roof and floor repairs—for homeowners left without federal relief.

St. Paul Catholic Church will mark 115 years of serving Lafayette’s African American community on Saturday, March 14 at 4 p.m. with a celebration mass and reception at the Cathedral of St. John.

Family, friends, and community members gathered Sunday to unveil a new mural on Garfield Street honoring local musician Brother Dege — whose music, writing, and storytelling continue to inspire.

The artwork celebrates his lasting impact on Lafayette's creative scene.

At a Shop Rite on Ambassador Caffery Parkway, an employee said gas prices jumped (from $2.21 to $2.99) on March 4 amid a national rise linked to the Iran conflict, impacting local drivers.

Due to an equipment malfunction at its water distribution site, Port Barre has issued a boil water advisory, requiring residents to boil their water until the issue is resolved.

Similar advisories were recently issued in Abbeville while repairs restored water service in Franklin and Estherwood.

Voting is open for the Daily Advertiser Athlete of the Week featuring nominees from boys and girls basketball, baseball and softball in Lafayette Parish, with votes closing at 9 a.m. Friday.
