First built in 1907, they call this the church of the fishermen, for that was the time when Biloxi was widely famous as the seafood capital of the world. It’s iconic waterfront structure, immediately striking, is actually not the first version. Hurricane Camille destroyed the facility in 1969. Undaunted, they rebuilt the church, and this time, added intricate panels of stained glass – the Twelve Apostles all returning home after a solid day of fishing. Further mechanical improvements were made - break-away protective windows (for protection against future storms) and 15 feet of stained glass that can be safely and quickly hoisted up.
