St. Bernard's Catholic Church

Breaux Bridge's first Catholic chapel was built in 1841. In 1847, St. Bernard's Parish was established and its first substantial church was erected in 1857. The present church, built in 1933-34 by local craftsmen, was the pinnacle of Rev. P.A. Borel's administration. Its exterior bricks were made from the parish's own factory, and its twin steeples and fine French Romanesque architectural lines make it truly unique.
