LOOKING AHEAD...

Friends,

After several months of prayer and discernment, some change of staff, and a deeper clarity of vision, I am excited to share with our new and loyal readers what you can expect from the Bayou Catholic in the future. After the August issue, the Bayou Catholic magazine will be published on a seasonal basis. After much discernment, the Office of Communications will be moving to a publishing schedule that follows the natural flow of the life of a parish. Readers can expect issues for Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, Summer, and Back to School moving forward, with the first edition coming out Advent 2023. The content for the magazine will contain timeless stories and resources for one’s walk with Christ, in addition to some timely news and coverage of diocesan events, which will also be housed on our website and social media platforms.

In an effort to serve the faithful of our diocese, we hope and pray that these modifications will aid in your personal journey of faith. We are incredibly excited about the upcoming advancements to our diocesan publication and hope that you will be too. Please pray for us as our ongoing discernment continues and know of our ongoing prayers for you and your families!

Peace in Christ,

Maegan Martin Director of Communications Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux
