Curioz, S.J., Father Louis, College of the Immaculate Conception, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1861 December 21

, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana ` He proposed to the council of the house the question they were concerned about yesterday, and it has been decided that he should request that they not be considered a parish, especially in view of the restrictive limits which major reasons force Odin to assign them. He asks that Odin continue his benevolence, and the faculties to exercise the holy ministry for all ecclesiastical functions except marriages and burials. It would be too long to give their reasons of which several appear powerful enough to him. It would be much more conformable to the customs and spirit of the Jesuits. :: VI-2-e A.L.S.
