On Monday, February 17th, the faculty and staff of St. Pius Elementary School came together for a truly impactful day of service in partnership with us through our Homeless to Housewarmed Campaign. This initiative aimed to provide a fresh start for individuals transitioning out of homelessness by furnishing and decorating a housing unit with essential items that would help make the space feel like a home. The day was a beautiful reflection of the school's commitment to service, compassion, and community.

We are one of the smallest schools in the Lafayette Parish School System, but we are blessed to have families with big hearts.  Over 900 canned goods were collected for the food drive.

Experience the heart of Catholic Charities of Acadiana by scheduling an in-person, behind-the-scenes tour. Walk in the footsteps of our clients and witness firsthand the profound impact we can make together in serving the most vulnerable in our community. Seeing the work up close offers a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by those we serve and the meaningful ways we can respond.

Volunteering is a meaningful way to live out the call to almsgiving, offering compassion and support to our shared neighbors in need. Whether serving meals at St. Joseph Diner, assisting in one of our sheltering operations, or helping with rebuilding or disaster relief efforts, your presence can bring hope and dignity to those struggling in our community. 

We invite you to journey with Catholic Charities of Acadiana through the Corporal Works of Mercy this Lenten season.
