Description

This is a Catholic Church located in Many Louisiana near Toledo Bend Reservoir. I seen the church many times and was drawn to it by the spanish style architecture. This is also available in black & white which is my passion and love.

According to the Archives at the Congregation of the Divine Providence in San Antonio, Texas, the earliest Catholic settlers of the Many area arrived in the late 1830's.

The history of Saint John the Baptist Catholic Church of Many began in 1870 when the first resident priest, Rev. J. A. Aubree, arrived. By 1871, the diligent work of Father Aubree and his parishioners resulted in the completion of a frame church. Because Catholic education was a priority, Father Aubree started a school in the rectory around the year 1878 and taught the students himself.
