St. Peter's Catholic Church of New Iberia, Louisiana

This post includes pictures of St. Peter's Catholic Church located at 108 East Saint Peter Street, New Iberia, Louisiana. Ground breaking ceremonies for the present church were held on May 30, 1951. Construction of the church covered a two-year period. Final work was completed during the first months of 1953.


This was a difficult church to photograph because it is placed close to the street and there are a large number of poles and cables across the front of the church.

St. John Evangelist Catholic Church, Jeanerette, Louisiana

Below are pictures of St. John Evangelist Catholic Church, Jeanerette, Louisiana. The church parish was founded in 1879; this beautiful church was built in 1908. I was able to take pictures of both the outside and inside of the church. Enjoy!













The stain glass windows are really nice, unfortunately the pictures do not do them the justice that they deserve.











This is the choir loft is very nice as can be seen below.


Below are pictures from the side and back of the church.
