St. Gabriel Roman Catholic Church
St. Gabriel Roman Catholic Church, Catholic church building in St. Gabriel, Louisiana.
The church building features traditional Catholic architectural elements with a bell tower that contains the original parish bell from its founding days.
Established in 1761 and completed in 1776, St. Gabriel Roman Catholic Church stands as the oldest existing church structure within the Louisiana Purchase territory.
The church remains central to the religious life of St. Gabriel, maintaining Catholic traditions through regular services, ceremonies, and community gatherings.
The building moved from its original riverside location to its current position during the early 1900s to ensure better preservation of the structure.
During restoration after Hurricane Gustav in 2008, workers discovered that the original timber framework remained in excellent condition despite centuries of use.
