Roots of Faith: Holy People Holy Places explores the lives of holy persons who visited or lived in Louisiana. The individuals we showcase led extraordinary lives of caring, generosity and service- bringing others closer to God through their exemplary lives. There are also holy places in our state worthy of attention - from seminaries to cemeteries and many places in-between. Join us as we journey through our state’s “Holy” past of people and places.
