Welcome Home

Calling Catholics Home is a joint effort among the parishes in
The Diocese of Shreveport to welcome non-practicing Catholics
back into the faith community.

 

Parable of the Lost Sheep:

What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!' I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
