Parish of St. Philippe de St. Pierre

I am reading mid 18th century parish records of Ste. Anne Parish of Ft. de Chartres, Randolph County. In a marriage record of 1785, the priest says the bride is from parish of St. Phillipe de St. Pierre. I cannot find such a parish in the vicinity during this time period. Usually if it were Canada or France, they would say so. Does anyone know of such a parish probably in years 1750-1780?

The marriage record is for Clement Drury and "Marie Josephine Brebeaut, d/o Jean Bte. Brebeaut, habitants of St. Philippe de St. Pierre."

Thanks!

It may be St. Phillip's church in East St. Louis, IL. Email me and I will give you an address and contact info for old church records.

Thanks for responding. No, it's not St. Philip in East St. Louis. I have those church records from familysearchlabs online. I grew up one block from that church. This St. Philippe I was asking about was the mission church for Ft.De Chartres in Randolph County, I have since learned since by my original post. Their records are also on the same website with the Illinois Diocese of Belleville ones - but since it was an early mission, the extant records are mixed up with St. Joseph in Prairie du Rocher - I was trying to place it in a town. Thanks anyway.
