Below is the introductory paragraph from Great Jesuits, part 7, which you can view at the link below the answer box. The answer to your question, found in that opening paragraph is September 8, 1768; see complete article at the link below the answer box.

Part 7 of my continuing series on great Jesuits in American history. Born in Montreal on April 7, 1737, Pierre Gibault early in life decided that he wished to be a Jesuit missionary priest. Ordained on March 18, 1768, he was appointed by the Archbishop of Quebec to be the Vicar General of the Illinois country. Father Gibault arrived in Kaskaskia in Illinois on September 8, 1768. His flock consisted of French settlers, Indian converts, and members of the 18th Royal Irish Regiment who were temporarily stationed there. - See more at: http://the-american-catholic.com/2010/08/09/great-jesuits-7-vicar-general-of-illinois/#sthash.d7sXTJob.dpuf

Jesuits combined Catholic beliefs with Huguenot beliefs?

The Huguenots were the French protestants. The Jesuits were formed primarily to combat the protestant heresy. I don't know where you got this idea, but some of the stuff on the web for Huguenots and Jesuits suggest that the two were bitter enemies, and that the Huguenots were responsible in some way for the suppression of the Jesuits. Either way, there is no way that the Jesuits ever combined Catholic beliefs with protestant beliefs - that would give a lie to their whole reason for existing.
