What an incredible day of service at St. Margaret’s Food Distribution! 💙🧡

We are so grateful for our 58 amazing volunteers who gave 193.5 hours of their time to serve others. Because of your dedication, 183 families — totaling 525 individuals — received food and support this month.

Your kindness, teamwork, and servant hearts truly make a difference in our community. 🙏

We can’t wait to do it all again next month on Thursday, May 21st!

God bless each of you for all that you do! 💛

Today we celebrate Bishop Michael Duca’s anniversary of ordination to the priesthood.

Before being called to serve as bishop, he faithfully served as a priest in the Diocese of Dallas. We give thanks for his 48 years of priestly ministry and his continued “yes” to Christ and His Church. Please join us in celebrating him today!

Celebrating a night of impact, gratitude, and hope at our 2026 Annual Meeting!

We gathered to reflect on a year of transformation by honoring outstanding team members, recognizing dedicated volunteers, welcoming new advisory board members, and looking ahead to the future of our mission.

Serving over 4,000 individuals across 19 programs, this work is only possible because of our incredible community of supporters, staff, and volunteers.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and for being part of this mission to serve with dignity, compassion, and faith. Together, we continue to create hope.

2026 Way of the Cross in Downtown Baton Rouge

04/05/2026

Alleluia! He is risen!

On Easter, we rejoice in the victory of Christ over sin and death. What began in sorrow on the Cross is now fulfilled in glory through the Resurrection. The empty tomb is a sign of hope, reminding us that light overcomes darkness and life triumphs over death.

As we celebrate this joyful day, may our hearts be renewed with faith and filled with the promise of new life in Christ. Let us go forth with joy, sharing the hope of the Resurrection with all we encounter.
