  • This year we celebrate fifty years of the Bishop's Services Appeal, Living a Legacy of Faithfulness and Purpose, honoring Jesus Christ by serving others throughout Acadiana.  Each of us is called to sustain the example of fellow Louisianans like young Charlene Richard,  military chaplain Fr. Verbis Lafleur, and devoted servant "Nonco" Pelafigue.  Quietly and humbly, they offered their apostolic service, reminding us to serve "wherever we find ourselves."  This weekend is Bishop's Services Appeal Commitment Weekend.  Living a Legacy of Faithfulness and Purpose, as devoted twenty-first century saints, we become part of the many blessings yet to reveal.  Please give to support the 2023 Anniversary Bishop's Services Appeal.  May St. John Berchman's parish respond generously. 
    ​ ​
