SULPHUR — History came full circle on Palm Sunday weekend as the inaugural Solemn High Mass was celebrated at St. Francis de Sales Oratory in the same building that once served as the first Catholic Church in Sulphur nearly 100 years ago. The apostolate — the only one in the South for the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest — is now home for the traditional Latin Mass in the Diocese of Lake Charles.

LAKE CHARLES — The Vikings at St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic School are all together again after being separated for several months. The school is one of three in the Diocese of Lake Charles that received significant damage last year from Hurricanes Laura and Delta.

Deadline to apply for scholarships is April 15

LAKE CHARLES (March 12, 2021) — Up to 400 students will have an opportunity to earn scholarships to attend Catholic schools this Fall within the Diocese of Lake Charles, thanks to the generosity of a patron giving a $1.8 million donation. The family, who wishes to remain anonymous, made the generous gift through ACE Scholarships, which provides children of low-income families access to quality education through its scholarship program.

Statement by Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops

As the Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops (LCCB), we seek to implore our collective U.S. senators to oppose the Equality Act that has already passed the U.S. House of Representatives. While promoted as an anti‐discrimination and protective measure, this legislation could disrupt and endanger the Gospel‐based work that the Catholic Church engages in on a daily basis.

It is morally evil that the cells of aborted children are used in the production of vaccines. It is unfortunate that all publicly available vaccines for COVID-19 have some connection to abortion-derived cell lines. The vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna are not produced using materials connected to abortion-derived cell lines, although they did make use of them in ancillary testing. The vaccine from Johnson and Johnson is produced using material connected to abortion-derived cell lines, and thus it is more morally problematic than the alternatives. When given the choice, a Catholic that makes an informed decision to be inoculated should choose from vaccines with the least connection to abortion.
