One of Livingston Parish’s most sacred religious shrines has been shut down for a cleaning and sanitizing because of the recent spike in COVID cases in the parish.
The Walmart Supercenter on Range Avenue closed at 2 p.m. today and will be closed through Thursday but is scheduled for re-opening on Friday so as to keep from traumatizing as few Denham Springs residents as possible.
In the meantime, for those who feel a spiritual need for regeneration of the soul, there are Walmart supercenters five miles to the east in Walker and a couple miles up Range Avenue in Watson. And in case there are any stragglers or sheep otherwise gone astray, there is another Walmart just across the Amite River in nearby Central.
“As an essential element of the Livingston Parish spiritual experience, we understand the role we play in providing emotional strength to our customers members during these trying times,” a statement from the company worship center said.
A third-party faith-healer will lay hands on the store edifice on Thursday in an effort to exorcise all COVID evil spirits.
Worshipers should be able to return to their normal rituals on Friday.

Dammit! Guess I’m not going to the store in the morning, lol.
Another excellent Article. Bravo! 🌹
Can folks still mail in their tithes and offerings??
Is this true ? Cannot imagine Wal-Mart losing all of the money they normally make. Seems a little “tongue in cheek”.
Tongue-in-cheek written, but true.
