A short History
Get to know more about what makes us different.
The Bellevue and Oak Grove areas have enjoyed tremendous growth in their residential neighborhoods over the past 25 years. Over the same period of time, Pine Belt priests, Catholics, and the Catholic Diocese of Biloxi have been interested in building another church in the area . The Diocese of Biloxi then identified a specific need in the West Hattiesburg / surrounding areas based on the continued growth and development in the region. That led to the question of ‘where?’ with an area in such a growth boom, if ‘the dream’ church could ever be reality.
The generosity of one man answered both questions. Richard Fabian McCarthy donated the property on which the church would be constructed. This community will always be indebted to Richard McCarthy for his foresight and benevolence. Hence, Saint Fabian Parish was born.
