Deacon Doug Moreau dedicated many years of his life to his career, his community, and, most importantly, his faith.

A devoted man of faith and service, Deacon Doug was an active member of the Knights of Columbus and participated in A.C.T.S. Retreats throughout Central Louisiana and Avoyelles Parish. His commitment to his Catholic faith was evident through his involvement with That Man Is You, the Steubenville Conference, and his assistance with CCD religious education classes. He also attended a Cursillo Retreat, further deepening his faith and dedication to serving others.
