Welcome!

Welcome to Christ Church Cathedral in New Orleans. We are happy to have you visit us. Over the next half hour, you will learn a little about our church and our history in the Diocese of Louisiana. We’ll show you the beauty of God’s dwelling-place, and maybe, just maybe, we’ll inspire you to learn more. Perhaps we’ll spark an interest in the stained glass…Or the needlepoint…Maybe it will be music…Or the history of this place…

In any case, enjoy the tour!
