St. Joseph Co-Cathedral

St. Joseph Co-Cathedral features Renaissance Romanesque architecture with twin towers, pressed brick exterior walls, stone trim, and a terra cotta tile roof.

The parish began in 1813 with a wooden church, and the current building, completed in 1923, replaced an earlier structure destroyed by fire in 1916.

The cathedral interior contains stained glass windows depicting the life of Christ and the seven Sacraments, along with symbolic imagery throughout the dome.

The cathedral functions as a co-seat of the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux, offering regular Mass services and religious education programs for the community.

A glass sarcophagus within the cathedral preserves the relics of Saint Valerie, which survived the 1916 fire that destroyed the previous church building.
