	Florida Parishes
		The Florida Parishes lie east of the Mississippi River and north of lakes Maurepas and Pontchartrain in the southeastern portion of the state.

		While Washington Parish developed at the hands of the Uplanders (and a thriving lumber industry which arrived around the turn of the 20th century), the area of the Florida Parishes bordering Lake Pontchartrain owes its fame to its role as a health and vacation resort.

		The Florida Parishes, however, were disputed territory, for the Spanish had claimed the entire gulf coast many years before.
		During the disputed years of the last quarter of the 18th century the area of Livingston Parish was settled by Acadians fleeing English tyranny in Canada, loyalists fleeing the American Revolution on the east coast and even Germans moving north from French-established colonies on the west bank of the Mississippi River.
		The parish was named after Edward Livingston, a member of a prominent New York family who moved to New Orleans in 1803, eventually became a senator, a minister to France, Secretary of State under Andrew Jackson and also reformed much of the criminal and civil code of the state.

		We have all given to the diocese of Florida financially and in terms of significant service in mutual ministry since 2003.
		We are concerned that your statement that three of the parishes "have failed to give any monetary support to the mission and ministry of the diocese since 2003" could be misconstrued.
		We assume this security would include assurances that non-pledging parishes would not face a change in their parish status, nor vicars in their employment.

		In the western Florida Parishes, loess-influenced soils in the north and frequent flooding in the south greatly reduced the frequency of fire, leading to forests dominated by loblolly, shortleaf or spruce pine and many species of hardwoods.
