The Louisiana Division of the NOPL has information on these changes here: http://nutrias.org/facts/wards.htm As you will see, Jefferson City was added in 1870, and Carrollton in 1874. Both of these were formerly in Jefferson Parish. You can see maps of the wards on my map website here: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry com/~neworleans/neworleans_maps/5_links_to_finding_aids.html You can see the changes in Parish boundaries here: http://www.genealogyinc.com/louisiana/maps/ Hope this helps.

That church, best I can find was located in New Orleans.
