Patron Saint
- See: Immaculate Conception
- See: St. Mother Théodore Guérin
From its beginning in 1944, the patron of Lafayette Diocese has been the Immaculate Conception because the seat of the diocese, The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception in Lafayette shares the namesake. The feast day for the Immaculate Conception is on December 8. It was in the early first decade of the 21st century that the diocese began contemplating adding another patron. With the formation of St. Theodore Guerin High School in Nobelsville in 2004, Guerin was officially named another patron of the Diocese of Lafayette.
