The parish began as a mission served by priests from Bay St. Louis, who traveled by boat or horseback to reach the area's river settlements. It marked its 150th anniversary in 2019. The current church is a renovated former gymnasium, rebuilt after Hurricane Katrina damaged the older church, and it now holds artifacts brought from older churches. The parish offers CCD classes for children, RCIA for adults exploring the Catholic faith and a CYO program for young people. Weekly bulletins are posted on the website, and offerings can be made through the Tithe.ly app. The parish office is open from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Call ahead or check the website to confirm current Mass times.
