Parish was "carved" out of 3 other Houma church parishes. Maria Immacolata features a school and convent, which are located a mile or so away. I also found a good history about the origins of this parish from another of three Houma parishes formed at the same time, located here which states John Patrick Cody (1907-1982) was appointed Coadjutor to the Archbishop on August 14, 1961 then appointed Apostolic Administrator of New Orleans on June 1, 1962 . Later he acceded to Archbishop on November 8, 1964. He decided to look over his new archdiocese (which included at that time the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux - est. 1977). On a helicopter ride over the archdiocese, Archbishop Cody spotted three locations in Houma where he wanted to place churches and named all three Italian names: St. Gregory Barbarigo who had just been named a saint in 1960, Maria Immacolata and Annunziata – purportedly the names of his own biological sisters who were also religious sisters (nuns).
