Parish Proud – A Local Nonprofit Set on Enhancing Parish Pride and Empowering Change.

 

What is Parish Proud?

The concept of Parish Proud spurred out of frustration and disappointment from the citizenry, business community, and local governments with the current state of our community’s physical appearance. Business and community leaders came together with a commitment to improve pride in our parish.

 

How do we change our landscapes?
