Clanton Chapel United Methodist Church
The first attempts at reaching the Dulac community were made by Rev. Martin Hebert of the French Mission. When he extended his range to include Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes around 1907, he soon made his way down the bayous. One of the places he and his associates, such as A.D. Martin, visited was Dulac. Once Houma started receiving a pastor, the Dulac community was added to his list of preaching places. Miss Ella Hooper took a teaching job in Dulac around 1912. She became concerned over the situation of the predominantly Indian community. In 1917, Ella Hooper returned with Laura White and started the McDonell Home in Houma. They would regularly go to Dulac to visit and hold Sunday School. Ella's sister, Wilhelmina, joined them some time later.
In 1935, Mr. Clanton donated the funds to build a church in Dulac. It was named Clanton's Chapel. The church has since been replaced with a modern brick structure. Over the years, it has been served by pastors from Houma (1st Church and Houma Heights). For a while now, a local pastor (Kirby Verret) has been the minister.
