    In an emotionally charged service held in the church that was damaged

    The service began with a procession from the parish hall to the damaged
    church. The choir led the procession and parishioners were given candles to
    light the interior for the service.

    Hughes was assisted by Deacon Reginald Seymour of Epiphany Church of


    New Orleans and St. Genevieve's pastor, the Rev. Roel Lungay, and Deacons
    George Menges, Paul Mumme and Dan Haggerty. The service began at the
    place the baptismal font formerly stood.

    "Let us remember the souls who were saved at this spot," Hughes prayed as
    quiet sobs filled the church.

    "So many memories," wept Laura Narcisse.

    Hughes then moved to the spot of the confessional where he prayed for the
    parishioners "whose sins had been forgiven at this special place."

    Stopping at the fifth Station of the Cross where a plaque that depicts Simon
    carrying the cross of Jesus now leans against the wall, he spoke of the
    meaning of sacrifice and people's responsibilities toward their fellow man.

    Hughes continued the solemn service where the altar once stood and the
    tabernacle once housed the Eucharist. The deconsecration concluded at the
    lectern where the Gospel was read.
