Church and grounds were beautiful. Really a nice area. The parish serves about 250 Families, and about 750 catholic souls. A really good history, taken from website located here states
Although the parish was established in 1869, those early records are located at St. Anthony’s in Eunice, LA. The church in Chataignier was closed in 1901 and the pastor established the church in Eunice and brought the records with him to Eunice where they have remained. The parish at Chataignier was re-established in 1905 and so those church records begin in 1905.
