Parish Services


Pastoral Care of the Sick


Parishioners are urged to call the Parish Pastoral Center to inform us of a family member that is hospitalized or homebound. With the current Federal HIPPA law, hospitals are no longer able to notify churches about their hospitalized parishioners. The only way we can know a person is hospitalized or homebound is if we receive a phone call informing us at the Pastoral Center.


Each hospital in Lake Charles is under the pastoral care of a priest/priests:


  • St Patrick is served by Fr. Brian King and Fr. Charles Okorougo
  • Lake Charles Memorial is served by Fr. Shaji Jose, HGN
  • Women and Children's is served by Our Lady Queen of Heaven Priests


Let us pray for all those who are infirmed and entrust their needs to the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
