Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Greetings in our risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!  

It has been four weeks since we suspended public religious services in the Diocese of Lake Charles, granting a dispensation from the obligation of attending Mass on the days required.   We desperately miss the Sacraments being celebrated openly and with our brothers and sisters in Christ.  At the same time, the COVID-19 virus continues to menace our population.

LAKE CHARLES — There’s nothing like a parade filled with family and friends to cure the COVID-19 quarantine blues.
