Dear Friends in Christ, Through this past year I have witnessed our small community of God come together in so many ways for the greater good even following the devastation we faced following Hurricane Ida. I am so delighted that we are able to reunite with one another as we continue to build back our home and spiritual relationship with God as we come back as a stronger community and diocese together.

Through the many challenges we have faced we still had many great successes this past year. Through facing what may be the toughest time your support for the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux did not go unnoticed. In this annual report you will see the impact each of your gifts have had for our ministries.

It is through your generous gifts and prayers to the 2022 Bishop’s Appeal that we continue to provide to our ministries. I want to wholeheartedly thank you for your support of the future of the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux.

You and your family continue to be in my prayers.

God Bless, Very Rev. PJ Madden Diocesan Administrator
