Maria Richard

I became an ordained minister because I felt called to serve others through faith, prayer, encouragement, and spiritual guidance. My desire is to help people find hope, healing, clarity, and a deeper connection with God during both joyful and difficult seasons of life. Becoming ordained gave me another way to honor that calling and serve others with compassion and love.

I am from New Iberia, Louisiana, in the heart of Acadiana. My Cajun heritage and Christian faith are important parts of who I am and have greatly influenced my approach to ministry, community, compassion, and service.

I hope to build a welcoming, faith-centered virtual ministry where people can receive prayer, spiritual guidance, encouragement, and compassionate support. Through The Cajun Mystic, my goal is to help people seeking healing, clarity, hope, and direction while keeping God at the center of my ministry. I especially want to make spiritual support accessible to people who may feel more comfortable connecting privately or virtually.

I am an ordained minister through Universal Life Church. My personal ministry is Christian and faith-centered. I believe in God, Jesus Christ, the power of prayer, compassion, service to others, and meeting people where they are on their spiritual journey. Through The Cajun Mystic, I seek to provide a welcoming and nonjudgmental space for prayer, spiritual guidance, encouragement, healing, and hope.

I believe every marriage ceremony should reflect the unique love, faith, and story of the couple. As an ordained minister, I approach each ceremony with warmth, compassion, prayer, and genuine care. I want couples to feel heard and supported as we create a meaningful ceremony that honors their commitment to one another and, when desired, places God and faith at the center of their union. My goal is to create a ceremony that feels personal, heartfelt, joyful, and truly memorable.

I am based in New Iberia, Louisiana, and have strong roots throughout the Acadiana area. My ministry, The Cajun Mystic, is primarily virtual, allowing me to provide prayer, spiritual guidance, faith-based support, and spiritual coaching to individuals regardless of location. When appropriate, I may also provide ministerial services within New Iberia and surrounding Acadiana communities.

I provide faith-centered spiritual guidance, prayer, encouragement, and spiritual coaching through my virtual ministry, The Cajun Mystic. My ministry is centered on helping people who are seeking healing, clarity, hope, and direction in their lives. I approach each person with compassion, respect, confidentiality, and a belief that God is the ultimate source of guidance and healing. My services are currently offered primarily through virtual appointments.
