The Catholic family of churches has played an enduring role in American faith. The Roman Catholic Church is the largest single Christian denomination in the United States, in full communion with the Bishop of Rome. Catholic parishes celebrate the Mass and the seven sacraments. The tradition traces its modern form to the 1st century. Today the tradition counts approximately 70 million in the U.S.

The church is part of the South, a region whose religious landscape ranges from historic cathedrals to country chapels and storefront congregations. Opelousas sits within Louisiana, whose state capital is Baton Rouge. New attenders, longtime members, and curious visitors all gather here on Sundays.
