The entire five-parish region of the Diocese of Lake Charles was impacted by Hurricane Laura’s brutal wrath of destruction as the Category 4 storm made landfall along the Gulf Coast in the early morning hours of August 27. But through it all, His Excellency, Bishop Glen John Provost never left the Diocese.

Catholic Charities of Southwest Louisiana, under the leadership of Sister Miriam Maclean, R.S.M., was on the ground running within hours of Hurricane Laura making landfall on August 27 in Southwest Louisiana.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I write to all of you from the Diocese of Lake Charles. We have seen the destruction and experienced the wind and water.

Catholic Charities of Southwest Louisiana, with assistance from Second Harvest Food Bank, is expanding its food distribution to Ragley at St. Pius X Catholic Church, 16816 Highway 171.
