  • Restorative Justice
    "I have come to heal..." Restorative Justice This is the fourth in a series of six pastoral statements by Catholic Bishops of the South on the Criminal Justice process and a gospel response. "We are guided by the paradoxical Catholic teaching on crime and punishment: We will not tolerate the crime and violence that threatens the lives and dignity of our sisters and brothers, and we will not give up on those who have lost their way. We seek both justice and mercy. Working together, we believe our faith calls us to protect public safety, promote the common good, and restore community. We believe a Catholic ethic of responsibility, rehabilitation, and restoration can become the foundation for the necessary reform of our broken criminal justice system." U.S. Catholic Bishops statement, "Responsibility, Rehabilitation, and Restoration: A Catholic Perspective on Crime and Criminal Justice," November 2000. As pastoral leaders of the Roman Catholic community, we would like to continue to reflect with you on the themes of responsibility, rehabilitation and restoration in light of the reality of crime and criminal justice in our area of the country. Prisons, like wars, are public admissions of defeat for humanity. Whenever possible, alternatives for incarceration must be searched for and implemented. Such an alternative is the approach of restorative justice.1 All of us have a right to public safety and protection from violence. The criminal justice system was created when public safety was threatened, when violence occurred. Our current criminal justice system is based on retribution - those who cause suffering by committing crime are to be punished by the government for what they have done wrong.2 However, many people, including many victims of crime, think the current system is not working.

  • ANNUAL REPORT - Most Rev
    2017 ANNUAL REPORT - Most Rev. Shelton J. Fabre MESSAGE FROM THE BISHOP My friends in Christ, The year 2017 has truly provided great hope for the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux and the Catholic Foundation of South Louisiana. Through our Diocesan Strategic Planning “Plans of Hope,” we have reinvigorated the Catholic Foundation in an effort to provide a powerful instrument to our Diocese, to assist with the gifts the Lord has bestowed upon us. The Catholic Foundation serves as a great resource to our Diocese, and for our donors to give financially through the Foundation to their desired ministry. It was established to ensure that the ministries of the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux can grow and thrive, thereby seeking to ensure a bright future for our ministires. The Diocesan Capital Campaign, which took place a few years ago, helped to create our two largest endowments with the Catholic Foundation benefiting Seminarian Education and Catholic Charities, raising over $5 million dollars. We are incredibly grateful for those who supported the Capital Campaign, our seminarians, and Catholic Charities. Over the last year, the board and staff of the Catholic Foundation have been working to provide great vehicles to make charitable giving simple and impactful. The Catholic Foundation’s assets total $5.3 million for the fiscal year ending June 2017, supporting a number of ministries throughout our Diocese. This past fall of 2017, the Catholic Foundation distributed $159,103 back to the ministries who have endowments established, and we are eager to continue to give back in an effort to financially sustain and enhance our many ministries.
