Latin mass option in New Orleans

A beautiful Catholic Church in the warehouse district, established in the 1830s. I found the aesthetic more appealing than the Cathedral Basilca. Really appreciated having the option of a Latin Mass during our visit to New Orleans as this is our worship preference back home...More

Beats the Cathedral

The outside of the building is unimposing due to location in CBD and the bland concrete exterior, but once inside this place of worship delivers. A wonderful place for quiet contemplation and reverence.

Good Friday Service

St. Patrick's is a beautiful historic Cathedral. Attended Good Friday Service. The altar is incredible, as is the painted ceiling. A very traditional service with very good music, an excellent homily and much history in the City of new Orleans. Recommended.

Central Business District

Compared to the more evocative monikers of some other
parts of New Orleans, the downtown’s humdrum title
might suggest that this area is all about business and

touted as exceptional in less jubilant corners of the
world. Bordered by the French Quarter, the Arts
