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.

So Beautiful & Moving

We came to St. Patrick’s to see where my husband’s g g grandparents were married in the 1800s. I was overwhelmed by its beauty. Truly one of the most beautiful places I’ve been. It remains unchanged, except for some cleaning and refurbishing, since 1840. Ann...More

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
little else. But don’t let the bland name keep you
away from the Central Business District. The CBD

world. Bordered by the French Quarter, the Arts
