About the Mission of Lafayette
In our communities throughout South Louisiana we have a tradition
of helping one another. In 1995 the Church of Scientology Mission
of Lafayette opened to continue that rich tradition.
Lafayette and Lafayette Parish are part of an area known as “Acadiana”.
This area is made up of eight parishes and is also known as the "Cajun
Heartland." The eight parishes are Acadia, Iberia, Evangeline,
Lafayette, Vermilion, St. Mary, St. Martin and St. Landry. And
Lafayette is located in the center of this entire area.
People of this area are often known as Acadians or Cajuns. The
name came from the Acadian settlers who had to leave Canada in
1755. They brought with them not only their French-Canadian customs,
but also their love of merriment, a strong work ethic and their
ability to live off the land. We are proud to be a part of this
rich heritage and to offer our help.
" The biggest right there is, is not the right
to vote, is not the right to freedom of speech, or press, or
religion
or anything
else.
" The biggest right there is in human rights is the right to help!"
--- L. Ron Hubbard
All the programs offered throughout the Scientology religion,
whether aimed at providing one-on-one help for the individual
or
helping
to eradicate the most serious social ills that plague our
society at this time, all are aligned to accomplishing the Aims
of Scientology: "A
civilization without insanity, without criminals, and without
war, where the able can prosper and honest beings can have
rights and where man is free to rise to greater heights."
