Description
Holy Trinity Catholic Church is a Romanesque Revival building in Shreveport housing 60 stained glass windows and a main altar of Italian marble. The interior displays this careful craftsmanship throughout its spaces.
History
The first church on this site was founded in 1856 by Father Jean Pierre, but the present building dates to 1896. This structure replaced two earlier buildings that had occupied the location.
