Centennial Campaign: Ways to Give

Please click here to make your pledge or payment to the Centennial Campaign.

While God can’t be outdone in generosity, the Gospel asks all of us to give generously of our gifts in thanksgiving for God’s generosity and goodness. Your gift to the Centennial Campaign: Building Our Future Together is an opportunity to leave a legacy for generations to come.  Your gift supports the following:

• Seminarian Education
• Priests' Welfare Trust for retired clergy
• Catholic Student Centers at LSU-E and UL-Lafayette
• Matthew 25 Endowment for services and ministries to the poor
• Capital improvements for Catholic Charities of Acadiana and the Deaf Action Center
• Local parish initiatives for capital projects, spiritual and education formation, debt reduction, and expansion of services.

Each person’s financial situation differs from others. The Centennial Campaign seeks sacrificial gifts and pledges over a five-year period from all parishioners, so that our Church may continue to maintain its important role in the lives of so many. Gifts can be accepted in a variety of forms, with an emphasis on those that can be used immediately. All gifts are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by the law.

If your company has a matching gift program, you may be able to enhance the impact of your gift by requesting a matching gift form from your company and including it with your pledge card.
