The Search & Nominating Committee for the next Bishop of Louisiana wants to hear from you! Our diocesan profile needs to articulate who we are as a diocese and where God is calling us to go. We will share this profile with the wider Church and prospective bishop candidates. Your input is an important part of assembling the profile.

Over the next several weeks, you will have the opportunity to participate in both an online survey, available August 22 – September 19, as well as in-person listening sessions. The listening sessions are spread throughout the entire diocese. They are as follows:

  • Baton Rouge
    • St. James, Baton Rouge – August 23: 5:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
    • St. Luke’s, Baton Rouge – August 28: 9:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
  • Southwest
    • St. John’s, Thibodaux – August 26: 5:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
  • Greater New Orleans
    • St. Paul’s, New Orleans – August 30: 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
    • St. Martin’s (Church), Metairie – August 31: 5:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
  • Northshore
