Immaculate Conception, Lebeau, LA

These pictures are of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church located in Lebeau, Louisiana. The location was originally called the Petite Prairie after the bayou that flows through the area. From 1874-1897 the Catholic community in the area was served by a priest who came from Washington, LA. In 1897 the Josephite Fathers assumed responsibility for ministry in the area and the place was named Lebeau after its first pastor, Father Oscar Pierre Lebeau, SSJ


The current church building shown in these pictures was built in 1954 and replaced the original church. Follow this link to learn more about the church: http://www.lebeauchurch.com/. Remember to click on the pictures to get a larger view.
