Baton Rouge’s faith scene in 2025 was anything but quiet. Jimmy Swaggart’s passing at 90 made global headlines, but that was just the start. We saw a wave of retirements, new pastors stepping up, and even a pastor fired over pronouns. Churches expanded, celebrated centennials, and the Catholic diocese granted a rare Mass dispensation due to immigration fears. So much drama, resilience, and change—who knew church news could be this eventful? #Religion #BatonRouge #FaithNews
