In Critical Need!

Summer is one of the most challenging times of the year. While many people are traveling or adjusting schedules, the needs of our neighbors remain the same.

Every day, volunteers help serve meals, welcome guests, sort donations, support families, and make sure services can continue operating at St. Joseph’s Diner run by Catholic Charities of Acadiana. They simply can't do it without us.

If you've been meaning to volunteer, consider this your friendly reminder. If you've volunteered before, we'd love to have you join us. And if you've never volunteered with us, there's never been a better time to start.

A few hours of our time can make a meaningful difference in someone's day.

Please send us a message or call the St. Jospeh / St. Louis office 3378454168 by Wednesday at 1pm so that we can schedule a time to serve.

Well, you asked me when.

Finally, I’ll be printing images soon that you all can purchase.
I shall have various sizes available: 4 x 6", 5 x 7", 8 x 10", and 11 x 17".

Images will come with an explanation/prayer guide.

10% of the proceeds off the top will go directly to Catholic Charities of Acadiana. The rest of the proceeds will go to my One Heart Archery ministry so that more people can see that God is not just at a church but that the spiritual life is daily life, even outside shooting bow and arrow.

So, get your orders ready! Write down the amount of each print size you would like and be ready for when I start taking orders (hopefully in June).

I'll be able to take cash, venmo, and checks.

Talk soon, and remember, "Shoot for the Son!"

Love,
Père
