Two major hurricanes in 6 weeks. More than 50 priests in active ministry throughout 39 church parishes and 7 missions, spread across 5 civil parishes. Add to the mix an ongoing pandemic for most of 2020. No matter how the numbers are calculated, the result is the same: one diocese in full recovery mode.

No Decisions Have Been Made

In recent days there have been postings that the Diocese of Lake Charles has made a decision to not rebuild, not fix, or accommodate the needs of the Roman Catholics encompassing the Catholic Parishes of Saint Eugene in Grand Chenier, Our Lady Star of the Sea in Cameron, Sacred Heart of Jesus in Creole, Saint Patrick Mission in Sweetlake, and Saint Mary of the Lake in Big Lake/Grand Lake. These postings are not true.
