Adrian Camille Péré, 51, passed away Sunday, January 3, 2016 in New Orleans, 
LA. 
He was born in Gulfport, MS., on June 1, 1964. 

He graduated from LSU with honors with a degree in microbiology, opting for a 
vocation in Catholic ministry in lieu of medical school. 
He graduated from Notre Dame Seminary and Graduate School of Theology Summa Cum 
Laude with a master’s degree in Divinity and was ordained a Catholic priest on 
June 5, 1993. 
Adrian was a gifted, intelligent soul whose first love was his ministry to God 
as a Catholic priest in the diocese of Baton Rouge. Upon completion of his 
priestly ministry, Adrian worked in various jobs until graduating from Tulane 
University with honors with a master’s degree in social work and finding his 
second calling as a social worker and director of student counseling services 
at the University of New Orleans. 
His tender nature and intelligence were a blessing to all he comforted as a 
priest and a counselor. His passing is a tremendous loss to his family, 
friends, and clients.

Adrian is survived by his parents Henry W. Péré, Jr and Kate Camille Porche 
Péré of  Prairieville; his brothers Henry W. Pere III and wife Shari of 
Prairieville, David Péré of Baton Rouge, Wayne Péré of Baton Rouge, and sister

Landon Warren Péré, Henry W Péré IV, Isaak Dawson and  Jason Péré; Nieces, 
Brittany Parson and fiancée Jason Sillstrop, Chelsea Péré and fiancée Nick 
Skias, Camille Péré, and boyfriend, Alfred Cook III, Kaitlin Parson and fiancée 
Nick McCleave, and Carley Péré; and numerous other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Henry W. Péré Sr. and 
Lurline Munson Péré; maternal grandparents Clifford C. Porche and Irene Wallace 
Porche.

Visitation will be held at St. Francis de Sales Co-Cathedral (500 Goode St, 
Houma, LA 70360) on Friday, January 8, 2016, at 8:30 a.m. until the start of a 
funeral Mass at 10:30 a.m. 
Pallbearers will be his nephews Nikolas Parson, Landon Warren Péré, Christian 
Péré, Henry W. Péré IV, Isaak Dawson, and Jason Péré. 

Burial will follow in a private ceremony on a date to be determined by the 
family.

Adrian’s name to the Archdiocese of New Orleans or to the Office of Family 
(Life or Ministries).
