On September 9, Catholics flocked to the tomb of Father Laval, the apostle of the Blacks, at Sainte-Croix in Port Louis. After having been a doctor in France, Jacques-Désiré Laval became a priest in 1838 and arrived in Mauritius as a missionary in 1841. Until his death on September 9, 1964, he preached in the Creole community. His death triggered an intense movement of popular fervor to the point that his tomb became a place of pilgrimage. Father Laval was beatified on April 29, 1979.
