Watch the spirits of St. Landry come alive and tell their stories while learning history in a fun, spooktacular way at the St. Landry Catholic Church cemetery. Joining the "spirited" celebration will be a variety of historical characters relating to the area, including Jim Bowie, an Alamo figure; Madame Baldwin, a businesswoman of color; Reverend CB Anderson, first ordained Catholic priest from Opelousas; and Reverend Hyland, the first pastor of Holy Ghost Catholic Church. Several other spirits will also be brought to life for patrons to enjoy their legends. All proceeds will help to fund the Cemetery Historical Restoration Project, which takes special efforts to restore local gravesites.
