The Bonne Mort Society of Carencro, Louisiana, a pre–Vatican II relic, is still active at St. Peter Roman Catholic Church. The Bonne Mort (literally "Good Death") Society of Saint Peter's Catholic Church in Carencro was founded in 1906 by a French priest who was the pastor of Saint Peter's from 1899 until 1920. The original name of the organization was the Bona Mors Confraternity;  founded in Rome in 1648 by Friar Vincent Carafa, the seventh general of the Society of Jesus, apparently to help people to prepare for death from the plague that swept Europe so often in that century. The organization's charter limited the founding of chapters to Jesuit church parishes. The founder of the local Bonne Mort Society, Fr. F.J. Grimaud was a Jesuit; St. Pierre Parish (renamed later to St. Peter) in Carencro was a Jesuit mission in 1906. 

The purpose of the Bonne Mort Society was to prepare each member, through a spiritually disciplined life and a special devotion to Christ's Passion and the sorrows of Mary for a peaceful death. Carencro's chapter was authorized by the Archbishop of New Orleans (Lafayette did not have its own bishop until 1918) and its stated purpose was "the deliverance or lessening of the sufferings of the souls in Purgatory through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass." Several things have changed since the original charter, including an emphasis among members under sixty years of age of the benefits of prayers for the living—not only after death. 

Dues for new members are $2.00 for the first year and $1.00 per year thereafter.

The Catholic Daughters of the Americas is one of the oldest and largest organizations of Catholic women in the Americas. We strive “to be helping hands where there is pain, poverty, sorrow or sickness."  Throughout the year we work together as a group to plan service events, fellowship opportunities and outreach to the needy. Contact us for more information and to learn about our upcoming meetings and events!  Jill Fontenot at 896-9408.
