The Center for Catholic Studies is pleased to offer the following courses through the 2023-2024 year:

Christian Anthropology and Theology of the Body: Basic and Advanced.              Instructor: Jennifer Prather, MTS

Anthropology is the study of humans - what does the Church teach about the meaning of being a human person? These courses, taught by Jennifer Prather, MTS, will give you an entirely new perspective on Adam and Eve, Original Sin, and modern life. 

Jennifer is a high school teacher and, throughout her classes, she offers valuable insight into how to approach young people about these issues.

This class is now offered free of charge. Please contact the diocese to RSVP: cassie.meaux@lcdiocese.org or 337-439-7400 x200. You must RSVP at least 2 days before the event.

The Science and Art of Spiritual Accompaniment.                                                    Instructor: Paula Hunter

In the Catholic tradition, accompaniment is a form of evangelization. It means to journey with others as they move through life transitions, as they find their way toward responding to the Lord’s call. Sometimes acting as guide, sometimes as companion, advocate, or teacher, the one who accompanies builds a bridge between doubt, fear, and loss, to the deep love and meaning found in Church teaching. 

Writings of the Church Fathers
Instructor: Father DB Thompson, JCL, MA
Tuesdays 7-8:30pm, Feb 20-March 19, 2024

An introductory course in the writings of the Church Fathers. Attendees will read works of different Fathers each week. These writings will illuminate the history of the Church's battle against persecution, heresies, and other challenges though time, and the mighty saints whose intelligent, clear, and spirited works were swords in this fight for souls.
