Our Annual Cajun-Fest

Back to the Main Page

What began as a simple fundraiser to raise money to build a new rectory for our Pastor has become an annual autumn event for the whole community. Planning begins in the springtime and everyone in the parish gets involved.

Our Knights of Columbus cooking their famous Cajun-Fried Chickens.

Panola County's only radio station, KGAS, prepares to broadcast live.

We have great Cajun Cooking...

Bingo and Raffle Prizes...

a great Country Store with homemade crafts and baked goods...

and lots of children's games!

All the prizes are donated by local businesses and raffle tickets go on sale months in advance. Parish members work for months on crafts and baked-goods for the Country Store. The festivities run all day and most people in the community come out to share in the fun. Our food line runs long but the wait is well worth it, we even deliver great Cajun food to those who are homebound or have to work.
