The Episcopal Church welcomes you! We invite you to come worship at one of the 47 congregations in our diocese.

Baton Rouge Deanery

The Baton Rouge Deanery is the largest deanery in the Diocese, encompassing seventeen congregations across seven parishes, including East Baton Rouge Parish, the most populous parish in Louisiana. Our congregations are located in cities, towns, and small rural communities. The deanery is also home to St. Alban’s Chapel at LSU, St. James Place Retirement Community, and the diocese’s newest congregation, the Church of the Transfiguration at the Louisiana State Penitentiary (commonly known as “Angola”).

New Orleans Deanery

The New Orleans Deanery reflects the rich diversity of the city it serves. From Uptown to Lakeview, Treme to the West Bank, its congregations are woven into some of New Orleans’ most distinctive neighborhoods.

In Uptown, the deanery is home to Christ Church Cathedral and a university chapel serving the Tulane and Loyola communities and their diverse international student population. The area also includes several deeply-rooted neighborhood congregations, along with Lambeth House Episcopal Retirement Community and the Jericho Road Episcopal Housing Initiative, two longstanding ministries that serve the broader New Orleans community.

Across Canal Street, the deanery is home to vibrant congregations in Treme, including the oldest historically Black Episcopal congregation in the area. It extends to Lakeview, where its parish serves as an important neighborhood anchor, and across the Mississippi River to the West Bank, reflecting the broad geographic reach and rich cultural fabric of the Episcopal Church in the metro area.

Northshore Deanery

The Northshore Deanery comprises the civil parishes of St. Tammany, Washington, and Tangipahoa above the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain. Historically an agricultural region, in the last few decades we have seen the highest population growth in the state. Four of the congregations have greatly benefited from this growth. The other churches, regrettably, have decreased in numbers. Covington is home to Christwood Retirement Community.

Southwest Deanery

The Southwest Deanery consists of five historic congregations, most dating from the middle of the nineteenth century in churches which are nearly as old. We are spread across small cities, towns and communities along the bayous of Cajun Louisiana. Unfortunately, our congregations were seriously impacted by Hurricane Ida and one, St. Andrew’s, which is located on Bayou DuLarge virtually on the Gulf of Mexico, was severely damaged. We are small but faithful. It is difficult to know what good things the Lord might bring about for the Southwest Deanery over the next years, but we are listening.
