Jean-Baptiste Sabon (1819-85) was Durban's first parish priest who arrived in 1852. His ministry embraced care for Indian and Mauritian workers as well as Europeans and he also set up a small school. He was responsible for the building of a fine church in Durban, completed in 1881. Empress Eugenie, then on her pilgrimage to the Prince Imperial's place of death, contributed a large sum of money to the building fund in memory of her son who attended mass in Durban in 1879 before going up country.
