The Church of Immaculate Conception was originally a small wooden house where French missionary Father Jacques Lebrun first introduced Catholicism to African slaves in 1841. The church is now typical of many Gothic style churches around the island and serves a center for the Creole Mauritians, the decedents of slaves, who have a vibrant Catholic community.
