 Welcome to the St. Louis Cathedral

Cathedral_wpath_lores.jpg
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.
