ST. GABRIEL CHURCH
Acadian exiles arrived from
Maryland in 1767 and were given
Spanish land grants as was the
church. The church was built by
Louis LeConte a builder from
Lafourche between November 1774
and July 1776 aided by the
settlers. The Acadians brought
and maintained their church
records from St. Charles
Aux Mines, Parish, Acadia.
