Coat of Arms Explained

The Coat of Arms of the diocese is composed of two portions. The upper portion represents the See City of Houma by using the arms of the church of St. Francis de Sales, the titular of the Cathedral. These arms are composed of a red field on which is displayed a silver cross that is charged in the center with a gold enflamed heart to honor the Sacred Heart. These arms also contain a blue chief (upper onethird) that contains three golden fleur de lis. The lower half of the design is used to represent the Co-See City of Thibodaux by displaying the symbols of St. Joseph, patron of the Co-Cathedral. This is accomplished by using a silver carpenter’s square between three silver lilies, which represent the French heritage of southwestern Louisiana.

Diocesan Administrator leads Houma-Thibodaux during Sede Vacante

On Tuesday, Feb. 8, 2022, Bishop Shelton J. Fabre, who had been serving as the Fourth Bishop of the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux since Oct. 30, 2013, was named as the 10th Bishop and fifth Archbishop of Louisville, Kentucky.

When a diocese becomes vacant, it needs someone to continue the work of its bishop until the future bishop is named. Thus, the church gives a Diocesan Administrator almost all the authority that the departed bishop had. According to canon law, the Diocesan Administrator, who is outstanding in doctrine and prudence, “is bound by the obligations and enjoys the power of a diocesan bishop, excluding those matters which are excepted by the nature of things or by the law itself” (canon 427).

On Friday, April 1, 2022, two days after Archbishop Shelton J. Fabre was installed in the Archdiocese of

Louisville, KY, the diocesan College of Consultors elected Very Rev. Patrick J. (P.J.) Madden as the new Diocesan Administrator.

The Very Rev. Madden, a 76-year-old native of Ballinasloe, Ireland, was ordained to the priesthood May 14, 2004. He served as associate pastor at Our Lady of the Rosary Church parish in Larose and St. Bernadette Church parish in Houma; and as pastor at St. Genevieve Church parish in Thibodaux and St. Hilary of Poitiers Church parish in Mathews.

The Very Rev. Madden assumed the position immediately and will serve the diocese as its leader until Pope Francis appoints a new bishop and that bishop has taken possession of the diocese (Canon 430 §1).

Prayer for Priests

Gracious and loving God, we thank you for the gift of our priests.

Through them, we experience your presence in the sacraments.

Help our priests to be strong in their vocation.

Set their souls on fire with love for your people.

Grant them the wisdom, understanding, and strength they need to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.

Inspire them with the vision of your kingdom.

Give them the words they need to spread the Gospel.

Allow them to experience joy in their ministry.

Help them to become instruments of your divine grace.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns as our eternal priest. Amen.

Prayer for Deacons

Lord Jesus Christ, servant of all, Send your Spirit upon our deacons and their wives as they serve your church. Give them eyes to see the needs of your people.

Give them a discerning mind to know your truth. Give them a generous spirit when they are tired but needed. Give them a humble heart when their work goes unnoticed. Give them peace of mind in obedience and service. Give them health of body so they may serve with strength. Make them fertile ground for your inspiration and love. Comfort them when they question themselves and their ministry. Grant them grace as they age so they may share your wisdom. Make their hearts like yours so they may love your people. Amen.

Prayer for Sisters

Gracious and all-loving God, we thank you that you call us to be one with you and to be, in every way of life, doers of your word and not hearers only. We celebrate women religious who consecrate their lives in poverty, celibacy and obedience. We thank you for their character, courage and commitment to live in solidarity with those who live in poverty and suffer violence in everyday living.

Your love and grace inspire them. Their joy and total generosity inspire us. Together they form a “global sisterhood” whose network of prayer and ministry call all of us to broader and deeper understanding and communal responsibility for the common good of our Earth community.

May their powerful stories ignite the hearts of girls and women today to answer your call to live a life dedicated to the common good through living in community and sharing ministry.

May religious life abound in vitality so that the boundless power of your love and care will be known more and more throughout our world.

In every way of living we are all called to be poor in spirit, faithful in heart, and obedient to your love. Strengthen in each of us a deeper commitment to our own calling, that all may be one with each other and with you.

We ask this in Jesus’ name and the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
