Call about availability

After decades of service to the Church, priests may retire from parish administration, but they rarely retire from ministry. Vianney Villa was built in gratitude for that vocation.

The residence includes private apartments of more than 800 square feet, each with a kitchen, living area, full bath, bedroom, fireplace, and individual entrance. The 8,000-square-foot building also includes a chapel, shared kitchen, welcoming main entrance, covered screened patio, fireplaces, and gated security fencing.

Located adjacent to St. Helena Catholic Church in Amite, the home is within minutes of restaurants, doctors’ offices, and a hospital.

A place for more than one season.
