Charles
P. Greco
Bishop of Alexandria-Shreveport
1946-1973

| In 1982 Bishop William B. Friend, auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Alexandria-Shreveport, in collaboration with Bishop Lawrence P. Graves, established the "Institute for Catholic Studies." Bishop Friend later renamed it "Greco Institute" in honor of Bishop Charles P. Greco,
former bishop of Alexandria-Shreveport (pictured

Since the split of the diocese in 1986, Greco Institute has continued to serve the faithful of the Shreveport diocese. Greco Institute plays an especially important role in this geographic area where people do not have ready access to Catholic higher education. Since its founding in 1982 Greco Institute has experienced dramatic growth. From a visiting professor, the institute has grown to include a regular faculty of three and an adjunct faculty of fifteen. Greco Institute offers a campus-without-walls that takes quality programs to all parts of the diocese.
