For 100 years, Santa Claus has made an annual visit to the children of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, Bayou Dularge, to deliver Christmas presents. With his help, this is one of St. Andrew’s biggest outreach projects. The evening kicked-off with Santa arriving to Bayou Dularge by shrimp boat where he proceeded to the church for a hot gumbo dinner. The children were given presents and families in need of assistance were given gift baskets of household goods.
