6.	SAINT ROSE DE LIMA CATHOLIC CHURCH, 301 South Necaise Avenue, Bay St. Louis, 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. St. Rose Church was originally built and dedicated in 1926. After 65 years, our “house of worship” was in need of renovation. Seeking a way to re-acquaint St. Rose parishioners with themselves as a parish and the parish with its ethnic heritage, Fr. Kenneth Hamilton developed the concept “Re-Rooting and Re-Routing in Christ”. The renovation was undertaken by local craftsmen who did the carpentry, electrical work and painting of the church. Mother earth provided the raw
material (trees) for the altar, the ambo, the tabernacle and the table for the water and wine. Local artists and parishioner, Ellsworth Collins and his crew translated Fr. Ken’s ideas for the altar into reality. The artist, Auseklis Ozols, created "a mural which represents both the Crucifixion and Resurrection.”

The home, which is situated on an acre of park-like grounds, was built on an unusual angle to catch the cool gulf breezes during a time when air-conditioning was not yet a reality. The interior of the horre is graced with Canadian red cypress walls and heart pine floors. In 1990, the home was completely renovated at which time the luxury of air-conditioning was added.
