Mediation, Conciliation, and Arbitration

Respect for the dignity and rights of every person is a fundamental value of the Catholic Church. The Church protects these rights in many ways—through education, moral development, and the guidance of law. Within the Diocese of Shreveport, the Ministry of Canonical Services provides a path for individuals to seek fair and just resolution when disputes or misunderstandings arise.

Who May Request Mediation?

Any person—Catholic or not—who believes their rights have been violated or who has experienced a grievance involving a member or representative of the Catholic Church may seek assistance through the Ministry of Canonical Services.
Mediation may address:
Actions or decisions by a diocesan or parish administrator that are believed to have violated a right recognized by Church law or magisterial teaching. Failures to act or decide in situations where inaction itself has resulted in a violation of rights as understood by the Church.

Seeking Reconciliation?
Individuals seeking help should contact the Ministry of Canonical Services of the Diocese of Shreveport. A representative will review the nature of the dispute and explain the available options for mediation, conciliation, or arbitration. Support and guidance will be provided throughout the entire process.
