Just curiousity.
Most Louisiana Black folks are southern Baptist.
Once you get south of Alexandria which is in the central part of the state the culture and religion changes. Still mostly southern Baptist, but there are a lot of Catholics too.
I think it has something to do with a lot of people down that way being decendents of French settlers and Black people were around it so they adopted it as well.

That part of the state is referred to as Acadiana. French Settlers made this area home, you’ll know them by “Cajuns”
FWIW New Orleans isn’t considered Acadiana or have a strong Cajun influences.
I was raised Catholic, I didn’t realize this was unusual until I went away to college and nikkas gave me the
when I said I was Catholic
There were a few Black Catholics from the DMV area and some from Cali, and NYC. Other than them everybody else was from Louisiana and the Houston area. I went to a HBCU
I’m rambling....
Growing up we had something called the Black Youth Conference ( BYC). It was like a youth retreats for all the black Catholics in southern Louisiana. It was basically a weekend away from home in Opelousas....... A bunch of teenagers from Lake Charles to New Orleans (coed)
The women ........ my Gawd....
