Pools at Shreveport Public Assembly & Recreation facilities opened this week for the summer season.

The famous North Caddo Parish sunflowers are bloomin’ again.

During the summer of 2019, when I first started as the priest at Holy Cross Episcopal Church, we received a small donation of $13,000 to aid in housing the homeless. With that money, we began to house 20 people.

Boy Scout Troop 15 has been serving the youth of Shreveport for 100 years. The Troop first applied to the National Council for an official Charter on Oct. 21, 1921. This predates the Norwela Council which was established in 1923. Noel Memorial United Methodist Church has chartered Boy Scout Troop 15 since its inception. There have been many dedicated Scoutmasters, Assistant Scoutmasters and adult leaders that have served Troop 15 throughout the years, most members of Noel, guiding boys to becoming productive young men prepared for life.
