Jesuit Bend is an unincorporated community in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, United States, on the West Bank of the Mississippi River.

[1] The Jesuit settlers brought with them from Asia the satsuma, a loosely skinned seedless tangerine.

[1] At one point, Jesuit Bend had a station on the New Orleans, Fort Jackson & Grand Isle Railroad line.

In October 1955, parishioners at St. Cecilia Church in Jesuit Bend stopped Father Gerald Lewis, an African American Catholic priest, from celebrating Mass because of his skin color.

Archbishop Rummel approved the chapel's reopening before eventually discovering the ruse, but he wished to save face and not renege on the order.
