Parish Social Ministry (PSM) calls the entire church, and all people of goodwill, to establish a more just and peaceful society. The PSM office invites all to answer the Gospel call to work for the Kingdom of God and serves as a resource for church parishes in the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux. Parish Social Ministry is lived out through education about Catholic Social Teaching, legislative advocacy, community organizing, parish leadership development and church social service program development. Call us for presentations to confirmation classes, RCIA, religious education teachers, pastoral councils, social ministry committees, liturgy committees, retreats and other parish ministries.
A Catholic Voice for Justice is the parish-based legislative advocacy network in the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux through which we contact local, state or national elected officials about a social justice issue of concern to the Church. Over 500 parishioners in our diocese are members of our network. Sign up here to join.
