Resurrection Catholic Church is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Birmingham in Alabama, serving Catholics in and around Clanton, the county seat of Chilton County. Dedicated to the Resurrection of Jesus, the central mystery of the Catholic Church, the parish ministers to a small but growing Catholic community in central Alabama.
As a diocesan territorial parish, Resurrection Catholic Church is not staffed by a religious order and does not hold basilica, cathedral, or shrine status. It functions as the primary Catholic worship community for Clanton and the surrounding area of Chilton County, situated along the Interstate 65 corridor between Birmingham and Montgomery.
No confirmed founding date is documented in available sources, though the parish's presence in Clanton reflects the broader growth of Catholic communities in smaller Alabama towns over the twentieth century.

According to the parish's own website, Resurrection Catholic Church continues to serve as a spiritual home for Catholics in Clanton and the surrounding communities.[2] Specific details regarding the parish's founding year, early pastors, and construction history are not documented in publicly available sources.
