The outside and inside architecture is mesmerizing! The cathedral is open for visitors and practicing Christians. We witnessed a baptism event while we were visiting. It is a haven for people seeking shadow and cool temperatures while mediating. The beautiful paintings and candles sections will never be forgotten. Thank you for maintaining the place.

Love the St Louis Cathedral. Iconic landmark but also a place of worship. I always attend mass when visiting NO. If you visit or tour remember it is a place of worship and sacred for many people. Be respectful of worshipers. In the even head to pirates alley just behind the church and the the shadow of Christ.

I attended the Celebration of Life Catholic Mass for Richard Simmons. He was born and raised in the French Quarter and attended school and church at St. Louis Cathedral. It was a beautiful tribute to him and his outreach to hundreds of people through the years! A New Orleans tradition of a Second Line parade led by a brass band was amazing. Hundreds of people dressed in workout gear marched through the streets of the French Quarter. Fly High Richard, we will surely miss your antics!❤️

Beautiful architecture, but is look more impressive if you can appreciate it from the distance. Be mentally prepared to see a lot of homeless in this area specially if you go early in the morning.

stunning cathedral in Jackson square. We attended daily mass there and it was incredible. The priest gave a very relevant and thought provoking homily. A great way to worship our Lord in such a beautiful place! They have a small gift shop as well with Catholic items for sale with very reasonable prices. Highly recommend visiting

Always beautiful. No matter the religion you follow, this is a must go to sight to see if you’re a tourist. The architecture is wonderful; we were lucky and got there at 12 on a Sunday and saw church let out and a Bishop was there!

Awesome place with a rich history. Beautifully kept, and an amazing statue of the heart of Jesus. Aka touchdown Jesus. Very interesting to see it in person, as it is the oldest continuously operating Roman Catholic Church in America.
