Trinity Episcopal will celebrate 150 years in April
Trinity Episcopal Church of Morgan City, founded in 1874, will celebrate its 150th anniversary this April.
The church is located on the corner of Second and Greenwood.
In 1877, 60 students were enrolled in a schoolhouse constructed by the church. Public schools had closed because of a lack of funds.
In 1911, the church was remodeled, funded by generous contributions from Presbyterians, Roman Catholics, Methodists and Jews as well as Episcopalians.
Bishop Shannon Duckworth will celebrate Eucharist at the church at 9:30 a.m. April 7 to celebrate the church’s ministry through the years.
The public is invited to a concert by The Overture String Quartet, which will be held at 3 p.m. April 28 in the church.
A reception will be held in the Parish Hall after the concert.
