FROM BISHOP DORSONVILLE

One of the most important tasks of the Church is to evangelize, to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to all the world. The Bayou Catholic is one very important way that our diocese seeks to bring the Gospel to the good people of our communities. I am so grateful for all the work that has been put into this important ministry over many years. It is important that we are doing all that we can to invite each person to learn more about Jesus. As our culture continues to change, it is important that the way that we evangelize adapts to meet the needs of the people of today – both young and old, single persons and families. The changes we are implementing to the Bayou Catholic aim to help us do just that – to speak most effectively to the people of today about how Jesus can change their lives. Through the updated Bayou Catholic, as well as our use of social and electronic media, we hope to meet the needs of all people of every generation. I look forward to the good fruit that God will bring from this ministry.
