Stewardship & Bishop's Annual Appeal

Dear Faithful Stewards,

Without your continuous giving to the Bishop’s Annual appeal, our Bishop would not be able assist so many in need in our diocese. Bishop Duca counts on you to help him feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, bring hope to the prisoners, support our college student centers, provide tuition assistance to our Catholic schools and offer daily Mass to so many who now count on him. 

Thank You and God bless you for your thoughtfulness and generosity!

You now can make your gifts go further but it will take a few minutes on your part.

In an effort to streamline operations and costs, the Diocese has made the decision to utilize one online payment processor. Since eCatholic is our website host, they were the logical choice in vendors. By the end of July, we will only be offering one online giving platform, eCatholic.  While we will continue our relationship with Our Sunday Visitor, we will no longer be using OSV online giving.

We ask that you please cancel any upcoming OSV recurring gifts, then set up new recurring gifts through eCatholic by navigating to the donation form on this page. If you need any assistance, please reach out to us, and we gladly help. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for understanding.

In Christ,
Gwen Fairchild
Director of Stewardship
Diocese of Baton Rouge
