Catholicism in the Demopolis area dates to the early Spanish explorers. The French Napoleonic exiles of the Vine and Olive Colony held religious services and attempted to establish a Catholic mission in Demopolis in 1817. Services were held in homes and in a small frame structure until the current building was constructed in 1905. The brick Gothic Revival style church was designed by Architect J.A. Gaboury of Birmingham, Alabama. The church remained a mission church until the St. Leo's Parish was permanently established in 1936. The church was damaged twice by fire, 1954 and 1960, each time it was restored. The building is well maintained and continues to serve it congregation. 309 South Main Avenue P.O.
