Few cities in the world are so identified by a building as is New Orleans. The city is instantly recognized by our cathedral and its position overlooking Jackson Square. The Cathedral-Basilica of St. Louis King of France is the oldest Catholic cathedral in continual use in the United States. As the caretakers of the Historic place of worship, we constantly battle the elements and the aging of the Cathedral with ongoing conservation and restoration.

If you would like to make a donation in order that this national historic landmark will remain the centerpiece in the great history of New Orleans please click the button below.

 

Free Concert on February 26!


Stand up for our Religious Liberty

The Constitution guarantees the freedom of conscience under the First Amendment. However, on the weekend of January 28th and 29th a letter from Archbishop Gregory Aymond was read at all the Masses in the Archdiocese of New Orleans,
in which he stated,

“On Friday, January 21, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued a ruling that mandates that employers, even Catholic employers and organizations, provide health care coverage for birth control, sterilizations and even abortifacients. This is an unprecedented attack on our religious liberty, which is a founding principle of our nation. This ruling is an example of government violating our rights to make choices based on our morals and Church teaching….”

“I ask for your continued prayers for our nation and that the dignity of human life and religious freedom may be protected. I would also recommend visiting
www.usccb.org/conscience“,
the US Conference of Catholic Bishops' website
“ to learn more about this severe assault on religious liberty, and how to contact Congress in support of legislation that would reverse the Administration’s decision…..”

“…..We are not demanding that others live our Christian values, but we should have the right to do so.”  For the full text click here.
