St. Mary Magdalen Church
St. Mary Magdalen Church, Catholic church in Abbeville, United States
The red brick Gothic-style church features cruciform basilica design with buff-colored accents and projecting buttresses throughout its exterior walls and towers.
The current building, constructed in 1911, replaced the original structure from 1844 that burned down in a devastating fire during 1907.
The church maintains deep connections with descendants of Acadian exiles who selected Saint Mary Magdalen as their spiritual patron in Louisiana.
Located at coordinates 29.974444, -92.1375, the church property includes a rectory built in 1921 and an adjacent cemetery for the community.
Father Joseph Verbis Lafleur led youth activities at the church before his death in World War II, leaving an enduring impact on local programs.
