 Both the pioneer Creole priest of Louisiana, classical poet, missionary among the Choctaw Indians, and his happy-go-lucky brother, "old Jupiter in a black blanket," as Mrs. Dagmar Renshaw LeBreton styles him in her splendid volume "Chaht a-Ima" — Dominique, who was a master of lyric poetry — made Bonfouca their haunt.Here, too, Abbé Rouquette drew religious inspiration as well as poetical visions, while Dominique found peace from the demands of life, but likewise beautiful concepts that he embodied in his poems.Around Bonfouca linger the memories too of such zealous priests as Father George Lamy, who covered the territory on horseback; Father Lecozic (future Chancellor of the Archdiocese), Father Manoritta (former Italian Dominican), who trekked back and forth from Bonfouca and Lacombe to Covington and Abita Springs; Father Eugene Aveilhe, builder of churches, schools and chapels, the tireless Father Lavaquery, and Father Francis Balay, O.S.B., who brought St. Genevieve's out of its ruins.
