From a Facebook post: Bishop Douglas Deshotel presented Father Kyle White with a relic of St. Leo the Great during the Dedication Mass for the beautifully renovated St. Leo the Great Church in Lafayette. Bishop Deshotel presided over the Mass and dedication, alongside Pastor Father Kyle White in concelebration. Joining them were former pastor Father Dustin Dought, Father Michael Richard, Father Jared Suire, and Father Garrett McIntyre. During the ceremony, Bishop Deshotel consecrated the altar with Holy Chrism and placed the relic of St. Leo within it. This relic, which was transported from Rome to our diocese specifically for this occasion, has been placed in the altar.
The newly transformed St. Leo the Great Catholic Church, located at 300 W. Alexander Street in Lafayette, has undergone extensive interior renovations. It now features updated facilities, including accessible restrooms and a handicap-accessible confessional, as well as a magnificent high altar, reredos, and new sanctuary furniture, among other improvements. Congratulations to Father White and the St. Leo parish community on this beautiful achievement!

Wonderfuł but then you have faux Cathołic bishops banning this inveterate practice of the Church
Kudos to this parish and bishop!
As an Easterner, I'm baffled by the goings on in the Roman Church. You have bishops like this and Cordileone who lean towards that which I find to be expected, and familiar. Then you have the German Bishops, Charlotte and other bishops that I can't readily name worrying about evil altar rails and TLMs while liturgical abuses continue unabashed. Add on fabricated synodality and the Syro Malabars who evidently hate their traditions as well, what a complete mess!
Wait, isnt that what Francis taught??
The radicals aside, the TLM communities are largely devout and loyal. You have something that actually works. Why make a mess of that too?
My bishop did much the same recently, and he's not even a vocal trad or anything. He's just not a... very nice person... like Bishop Martin.

The before wasn't bad.

These folks took good to the next level while the average would just be satisfied with "gussying" it up a bit.
