St. Amico Chapel, Donaldsonville, LA.

In 1906, Tony Musco, a young father, sat over his dying son Lucian. While going to get some supplies, Tony ran across a mysterious man asking for a ride. He explained that he wasn’t headed in to town with his car and as they got to talking the stranger told him he was a healer and offered to visit his home. After performing a few rituals he disappeared. The next day the son was cured of his fever and pointed to a small print of Saint Amico and said that was the man who had visited him. The father rejoicing vowed to make an offering to the Saint, a friend of the meek and small creatures. He saved money for a year and began work on the chapel. Over the years, the chapel was doubled in size.
