  • Bernard Martial & Philippine Duchesne
    BERNARD MARTIAL and PHILIPPINE DUCHESNE: TWO MISSIONARIES to LOUISIANA By Emory C. Webre 6542 Winnebago Street St. Louis, MO 63109 [email protected] Father Bertrand (Bernard) Martial, a priest from Bordeaux, France, served under bishops in four dioceses on two continents and was closely connected with important events in the dioceses of Bordeaux, Bardstown, New Orleans, St. Louis, and Detroit, as well activities in France and Italy. There are at least 83 documents in the files of the Propaganda Fide in Rome that are related to him in some way. I have located close to 250 letters from, to, or about him written during the years 1817 to 1835. He influenced the selection of one bishop in the United States and the rejection of another, and was himself considered for the Sees of New Orleans and Vincennes. He founded schools in Bordeaux, Baton Rouge and New Orleans. He escorted a future saint on her voyage to New Orleans and St. Louis. He was associated with three communities of religious women: the Religious of the Sacred Heart in St. Louis, Missouri, the Ursulines in New Orleans, Louisiana, and the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, Kentucky. 1. FATHER BERNARD MARTIAL Born in Bordeaux, France about 1770, Bertrand Martial studied for the priesthood, first, in France, and then in Italy when the French Revolution forced the closing of Catholic seminaries. A death notice in the Paris journal, l’Ami de la religion et du roi, gave some details of his life before he came to Louisiana. The death of Father Martial, in New Orleans, has stirred fitting remorse in Bordeaux, where he lived for some time, and where he rendered services that will not be forgotten.

Introduction Part One of this study discussed the history of the Ecclesiastical Seminary of Saint Vincent of Paul, Assumption parish, on Bayou LaFourche. This second part treats of two seminaries in New Orleans, both located in the same building situated next to Saint Stephen's Church. A period of thirty-three years separated the two. The earlier was Saint Vincent's Theological Seminary, (1859-1867); its successor was the Saint Louis Diocesan Seminary of New Orleans (1900-1907). II. The Civil War Seminary (1858-1867) Saint Vincent's Theological Seminary, Bouligny/Jefferson City, New Orleans, Louisiana Introduction The state of Louisiana prospered in its antebellum period, suf- fered through the war between the states and then gradually recov- ered. In the same way, Vincentian theological education in Louisiana began to prosper, suffered during the war and its aftermath, and then recovered somewhat in the following decades.

It has occasionally been cited, and even formed the major source of Charles G. Deuther's Life and Times ofthe Rt. Rev.
