Beginning with the Sunday 10am Mass at Dulac's Holy Family Catholic Church the congregation will have an hour to rest as the priest blesses "up-the-bayou" boats when at 12 noon, the lead boat will depart "down-the-bayou" to bless boats and bayou-side onlookers until arriving to the mouth of the Gulf where the blessing ends with the solumn moment of "casting a wreeth" into the water in honor of the drowned in our waters.
