Can someone please explain to me why this project isn’t being done overnight instead of causing major delays and huge headaches for everyone in town?? Why not do this when the roads are the least congested rather than 10 minute delays backing up traffic completely through town.
Join us, the City of St. Martinville, for a special Community Prayer Gathering! Let’s stand together to pray for our city, our country, and our nation.
⏰ When? Thursday, September 28th, 2023, at 6 PM.
📍 Where? Evangeline Oak Park on S. New Market Street, just across from City Hall.
Should the weather not cooperate, no worries! We’ll simply move our gathering inside City Hall. Let’s unite our hearts in prayer for the wellbeing of our community. Looking forward to seeing you there #StMartinvillePrayer #CommunityUnity #PrayForOurNation #StrongerTogether
