About Acadiana Catholic

Publisher: Most Rev. J. Douglas Deshotel Bishop of Lafayette

Managing Editor: Stephanie Martin

In Partnership with FAITH Catholic Publishing

Member of the Catholic Press Association

Throughout the history of the Diocese of Lafayette, the Bishops of Lafayette have always advocated for the existence of a publication that informs, inspires, and educates all individuals in regards to the Roman Catholic faith. This, the diocese’s good shepherds have always held, is essential to maintaing and strengthening the Roman Catholic identify which is such a vital part of Acadiana’s proud heritage.

Since 2013, the Diocese of Lafayette has partnered with FAITH Publishing to produce Acadiana Catholic as a full-color evangelical magazine that continues to serve this mission. Although production is supplemented by the annual Bishop’s Services Appeal, the support of local advertisers also plays a crucial role in continuing the publication’s long-serving history.
