An outreach ministry of Saint Catherine of Siena
Catholic Church |
Catholics on the
Southside of Shreveport, Louisiana, under the patronage of Saint Catherine
of Siena, first gathered as a worshipping community during the early 1920s.
However, it was not until 1938 that this mission, entrusted to the care of
the Jesuits at Saint John Berchmans Church, became a parish in its own right.
However, this Catholic community has had a significant impact its neighborhood
from its very beginning. Not all of the attention it received was welcome.
Older Parishioners still recall spending many of their nights guarding the
lumber for the first church so that the Ku Klux Klan could not burn it. Succeeding
years brought far more favorable notice in this predominantly Protestant area.
In time, activities at Saint Catherine of Siena Catholic Church became a focal
point of life for the Cedar Grove community. Saint Catherine of Siena Catholic
Church has been a vital force for good in this community and hopes to continue
to extend itself in service in a variety of ways. For 30 years the church
operated an elementary school providing a quality education to students throughout
Shreveport. The well-maintained facilities include 14 large classrooms, several
offices, extensive grounds for playing fields, a large kitchen and an auditorium.
Since 1994 these facilitirs have housed the extensive programs and services
ot the Saint Catherine Community Center. |
