This class, presented each year in advance of our Bishop’s annual visit, is required of those preparing to receive the sacrament of Confirmation, Reception, or Reaffirmation.

There are presentations as well as opportunity for discussion, with ample time for Q&A that includes what it means to be a Christian and, more specifically, what it means to be a member of the Episcopal Church.

The class is open to all who want to learn more about their faith and the

Episcopal Church! Participants include adults and youth age 16+.

Across The Diocese

Summer is right around the corner, and it’s not too late to sign your child up for an experience like no other at Louisiana’s premier Episcopal summer camp!

Selected as one of “America’s Best Summer Camps 2023” by Newsweek, Camp Hardtner isn’t just about games; it’s about making memories, finding joy, and discovering new things about yourself.

Campers will find an experience that will stick with them all year long and possibly for life. An experience of relationship, community, belonging, and self-worth–all built upon the foundation that God’s love surrounds us and transforms our lives.
