ALEXANDRIA, La. (KALB) - The Catholic Church is in the middle of what is called a Jubilee Year. Bishop Robert Marshall and Deacon Richard Mitchell, with the Diocese of Alexandria, are promoting this time of celebration by encouraging a prayerful pilgrimage throughout Central Louisiana. Before his death, the late Pope Francis announced that 2025 will be a Jubilee Year, which is a year of celebration, joy and grace. This happens every 25 years.

ALEXANDRIA, La. (KALB) - Faith. Some may say faith is something you can’t see. But what if you could see the impacts of faith? In the past five years, the Diocese of Alexandria saw a decrease in people entering the church locally. During the pandemic, attendance at Mass was low, with only 27 new members entering the church in 2022. But now, in 2024, the Diocese of Alexandria is seeing a huge jump in new members, with 92 people planning to enter the church this Easter. So, why the increase?
