The site of the “big church” is now the location of the parish cemetery. Notice the monument across the road from the church. This is a monument to Father Jean-Mandé Sigogne whose remains were buried in front of what was at that time known as College Sainte-Anne. This college, which is now known as University Sainte-Anne, was, at the time, run by the Eudiste Priests and the college Rector was also the Pastor of the parish.
Date: [ca. 1830
