Parish features a Parish hall, that was built to show silent films! The hall also housed the civil parish library, as well as CYO boxing events. Really good history found at parish website, listed below.
A really good brief history also from the historical marker located in front of church, which reads:
This church was founded in the mid 1800's when a small chapel was built at the juncture of Canal Harang and Bayou Lafourche. In 1873 a second church, which would serve the surrounding community of Larose and all of South Lafourche, was erected on the present site donated by Octave Harrang. Rev. Hyacinthe Brindejone was the pastor. The present structure was erected in 1933 under the leadership of Rev, Charles Tessier. The adjacent cemetery has served the parish for over 100 years.
