Every year, imprisoned men and women enter the Catholic Church. Our own Bishop Duca celebrates many of their baptisms, confirmations and first communions.
Imprisoned men and women attend retreats led by diocesan priests, deacons and volunteers.
Diocesan priests, deacons and volunteers visit prisons to bring fellowship, hope and the Eucharist to the incarcerated.
Over 1,000 men have been helped by Joseph Homes, a re-entry program run by Catholic Charities of Baton Rouge, provided released prisoners with housing and other support.
Throughout our diocese, there are countless re-entry success stories of men and women who are contributing to society in labor and professional jobs, helping others avoid crime and leading ministries.
