Beyond The Church
The Roman Catholic church started expanding very early in St Lucia as far back as the 1800's, building churches and schools all over the island. St Lucia is predominately Catholic with churches in mostly every parish and district. As of 2013, St Lucia had 11 parishes, namely Anse la Raye, Castries, Choiseul, Dauphin, Dennery, Gros Islet, Laborie, Micoud, Praslin, Soufrière and Vieux Fort.This book tells the story of how far back it all started, the struggles and the involvement of the communities which it benefited. The key players in the development and dedication of popularising the Catholic church are well documented in this book. Up to date depiction of how the churches stands today are laid out in this book with a brief description of the communities for your complete satisfaction.

This is a documentary style photography story which I hope will delight you, not just by the photos but to also educate you on the history and stories behind the Catholic Churches in St Lucia.
