Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Saute onions and celery in 2 tablespoons of the butter until wilted, not browned.
Combine cornbread and bread crumbs in a large bowl; mix in sauteed onions, salt and pepper, and parsley.
Add beaten eggs and toss more; moisten with the oyster liquid until moist but not soggy. Add the oysters.
