performed and one was validated. There were four burials. Pew rent improved materially — $46.00. Total revenues for the year were $131.10. After Father Paquet was transferred, Lacombe and Bonfouca reverted to Mandeville as missions and were served by Rev. G. Mertens. He visited St. Genevieve once a month on a week day. An important event occurred in 1891, which served as prelude to the organization of the new parish centered at Lacombe under Father Paquet. On March 31, 1891, Madame Camille Pichon, widow of Anatole Cousin, the same pious lady who had built the St. Genevieve chapel, appeared before Notary Joseph Duvigneaud of New Orleans, and declared that the "religious community in the neighborhood of Domecnil place in St. Tammany Parish is in urgent need of the spiritual ministrations of a priest of the Roman Catholic Church, and that His Grace, Archbishop Francis Jennsens of New Orleans, has consented to send to the vicinity of said Domecnil place a priest to minister to their spiritual wants at least once a month." Land given to archbishop Therefore, Mrs. Anatole Cousin donated to the archbishop and his successors the parcel of land with all buildings and improvements thereon on the right or west bank of Bayou Liberty in St. Tammany Parish, bounded by the lands of Etienne Narcisse and Charles Pichon, and Bayou Liberty. The track covered sixty one-hundredths of an acre, valued at $250. Mrs. Cousin declared this land was a portion of ground which she had acquired by inheritance from her mother, Genevieve Dubuisson, widow of Francis Pichon. Before the turn of the century, the Rev. Nelson Ayres and the Rev. Joseph Schmitt, pastors of Mandeville, served Bonfouca; then up to 1903, it was Father Laroche. The latter referred to Bonfouca as the "best part of the Mandeville parish." Many people there, he said, didn't speak English. Bonfouca and Lacombe, he said, were important missions. Then from December 24, 1903 to the end of 1912, the Rev. Leander M. Roth served as Mandeville's pastor and served St. Genevieve's chapel. Several missions were conducted at Bonfouca during his pastorate, by two Redemptorists, a Lazarist (Father Vauthier, who spoke French), and a Jesuit. A great deal of spiritual good was accomplished. When First Communion and Confirmation were held at St. Genevieve's in July 1910, a three-day retreat was conducted by Father Vauthier in French. Dead buried without priest For Sunday Mass
