Our diocese is blessed by the presence and tireless service of our religious sisters. These women serve in our schools, hospitals, and ministries, often working quietly behind the scenes to provide spiritual care and practical support to those in need. Their commitment to their vows is a powerful witness of God’s love in North Louisiana.

We invite you to join us in expressing our gratitude for their vocation. Their prayers sustain our community, and it is a privilege for us to support them in return through our own petitions.

Please take a moment today to remember our religious sisters in your prayers. We ask the Lord to continue to strengthen them in their ministries and to bless them for the many ways they enrich our local Church.

Please join us in offering our congratulations to Fr. Raney Johnson as he celebrates the fifth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood!

Fr. Raney wears many hats in our diocese, serving faithfully as the rector of our cathedral and as our Vocations Director. In each of these roles, his leadership and pastoral care have been a true blessing to our community. We are deeply grateful for his daily "yes" to God's call and for his dedication to nurturing the faith here in North Louisiana.

Please take a moment today to pray for Fr. Raney, asking God to continue to strengthen him in his ministry and grant him joy in his priestly service. Thank you, Fr. Raney, for your devotion to our local Church!

Our Mission Monthly focus for June is Seminarians. Read the full post here:

https://www.dioshpt.org/mission-monthly-june-formed-in-faith-preparing-to-serve/

Did you know it takes between six and nine years for a seminarian to complete his preparation for the priesthood? It's a long journey of sacrifice, deep study, and constant prayer. The Catholic Service Appeal helps cover these steep educational costs so our future priests can study without the burden of heavy financial stress.

Your gifts to the CSA help make moments like this possible. Join us in this mission here: https://www.dioshpt.org/service-appeals/
