I, my brothers and sisters and many of my nieces and nephews, received the sacrament of Confirmation in this Church. This Church Parish dates back to the 1700's and is the second oldest Catholic Church Parish in the Archdiocese of New Orleans, the oldest being the St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square.
The altar is made from the trunk of a walnut tree and was cut and imported from the town in Italy where it is said that St. Charles Borromeo was born. The tree was over 400 years old and what a shame to cut it.
The Bishop is Auxiliary Bishop Shelton Fabre, a native of New Roads, Louisiana.
