The Frances Joseph Gaudet Umbrella Ministries | |
We are thrilled to introduce the Frances Joseph Gaudet Umbrella ministries and their new logos. Though our Gaudet Umbrella comprises six individual initiatives, we are intrinsically interconnected through the overlapping edges of identity, inequity, and impact inherent in all the challenging issues we face. | |
Through their symbolic imagery, our logos embody our collaborative efforts to address injustice, environmental issues, racial healing and reconciliation, educational opportunity, inclusivity, cultural competency and humility, and relational youth development. | |
|
The work of the Frances Joseph Gaudet Umbrella fosters a community of compassionate leaders who are committed to making a positive impact in the world through the lens of faith and empathy. We extend our deepest gratitude to those who have led the way in bringing this vision to life. Together, we embark on a journey filled with hope, unity, and transformation as we strive to walk in love, make Jesus known, and transform lives!

Post-Francine Message
From Bishop Duckworth | |
|
We are relieved and grateful that the majority of our congregations and churches made it through Hurricane Francine with limited damage at most. To those in our community who were more affected and are still enduring the storm's difficulties -- you are in our prayers.
The experience of navigating a storm is always full of unknowns and challenges; it was heartening to witness the care, responsiveness, and support within our diocese. Thank you. Additionally, I am pleased to share that the diocese received an initial grant from Episcopal Relief and Development to assist the most vulnerable.
| |
|
Edola.org's Resource Page is still being updated with helpful information.
Any churches with damage, please call Church Insurance as soon as possible: 1-800-223-5705.
If you have any other concerns, the Diocesan Office staff is here for you: (504) 895-663.

EDOLA's Hurricane Relief Fund
I have created EDOLA's Hurricane Relief Fund to directly assist churches and people within the diocese who experienced Hurricane related loss.
| |
Episcopal Relief & Development
Additionally, consider donating to Episcopal Relief & Development. ERD is the humanitarian arm of the Episcopal Church; it partners with faith and community organizations to advance lasting change in communities affected by injustice, poverty, disaster and climate change. ERD has been generous with our diocese over the years with grants to support our work with vulnerable families. Select "Hurricane Relief" on donation page.

Daily Meditations | |
|
On the surface, who doesn’t appreciate that sentiment? Except when it starts to ring hollow by Americans who wring their hands in frustration after yet another senseless murder in a school. After every school shooting, The Onion posts the same “satirical” headline: “No way to prevent this, says the only country where this regularly happens.” Can we pass meaningful legislation? Common sense background checks? Removal of guns from a home when credible threats have been made? Red flag laws? Nah, just thoughts and prayers.
