Father Ronald J. Braud, a retired priest of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, died Jan. 10 at Chateau de Notre Dame. He was 81 and had served for 56 years as a diocesan priest, including 20 years as a chaplain and religion teacher at Archbishop Blenk High School in Marrero.
“He was someone who was calm, cool and collected,” said Msgr. Lanaux Rareshide, the homilist at a Jan. 18 Funeral Mass who was friends with Father Braud in the Jesus Caritas Priests’ Fraternity. “He was a very pleasant fellow. In his final years, he had some pain in his life with medical problems.”
