St. Martin de Tours Catholic Church, St. Martinville, LA

St. Martin de Tours Catholic Church in St. Martinville, Louisiana is often referred to as the "mother church" of the Acadians. The church was established in 1765 and is held as the oldest church parish in the Diocese of Lafayette Louisiana. The current building was built circa 1844. I was not able to locate a web site for the church parish and few dates and facts can be confirmed. I will continue to research this church parish and post an update at a later time. For now, enjoy the pictures below of a beautiful building with a very long history.
