Andrieu, C.M., Father Anthony, Donaldsonville, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1858 June 5

Last Sunday Father Charles Boglioli, C.M. returned from New River where he had spent six days. Affluence was so great and the desire to receive the sacraments so great that Boglioli decided to do all he could for them. He gave First Communion to 22 children and Paschal Communion to 90. The old house used as a chapel is much too small. Andrieu asks Blanc to permit Boglioli to have a chapel built on the land given by Dr. Marr ?. Former pupils of Sacred Heart and many others of the parish have asked Andrieu to sing a Mass for their intention on the feast day and to give Benediction at the end. Andrieu asks for this favor; together with Boglioli he asks authorization to give Benediction on feasts of the Blessed Virgin and St. Vincent de Paul. :: VI-1-n A.L.S. French 3pp. 12mo.
