History of Our Parish
The history of the church of St Philip starts in 1857 when we were a mission of St James Church. For a long time we had a old church and it was dedicated to St Philip. The church never saw paint and was in very poor condition. Then Fr. Jean Pierre Martin started getting us a new church and with enough funds we built a new church in 1921 and was dedicated on April 24th 1921 by Archbishop JW Shaw of New Orleans. The Church is a beautiful Roman style Wood frame Church with Detailed carved trim work.
