Read The Catholic Connection
The Catholic Connection is a monthly publication funded by your Diocesan Stewardship Appeal; mailed to every known Catholic household in the Diocese of Shreveport. Our mission is to advance knowledge and understanding of our Catholic faith among the faithful. We seek to foster the application of Christ’s teachings and our Church’s mission in our daily lives and to encourage our sense of Catholic identity within our family, parish, and faith community.
“The Church must be a place of mercy freely given, where everyone can feel welcomed, loved, forgiven, and encouraged to live the good life of the Gospel.”
Our Mission
We, God’s people, gathered with our Bishop and the Diocese of Shreveport, embody the universal mission of the Catholic Church. In developing a Christian Life we are called to praise God, to proclaim and teach Jesus Christ, His life, His work, His word and in the power of the Holy Spirit, we are called to serve as a sign and instrument of Christ’s liberating and healing presence in the world. As Church, we in the 16 civil parishes of North Louisiana challenge and support persons in their efforts to live as Christians, to understand Sacred Scripture and Tradition, to share with the poor, and to participate in a faith community.
