Lafitte, Tarn-et-Garonne

Lafitte (French pronunciation: [lafit]; Occitan: La Fita) is a commune in the Tarn-et-Garonne department in the Occitanie region in southern France.

The choice of location fell on the village of Lafitte, more important than others and with the school already, but the rivalries of the various sections prevented, despite the urgency of the project.

In 1867 local residents chosen by subscription only did the cost of a new church, where Mass was celebrated for the first time in January 1870, the Sunday of the Epiphany.

This was for several years the cause of great excitement in the parish, including a significant portion long refused to recognize their new church and to attend religious services.

From a former altar in gilded wood, 18th century, there are only two life-size statues: St. Helena (mother of Constantine) and Saint Francis de Sales.
