Go to mass here!

Truly a Catholic Church w an important history! Gospel choir gave me goose bumps and sense of community including warm welcome to visitors was so memorable. Wish I could import these qualities to my parish!

A Must When Visiting New Orleans

Treat yourself and go to St Augustine to learn about this extremely important church. And, if you are in town on a Sunday by all means go to their jazz mass. Wow - an experience you will always remember. Gorgeous and so moving.

Tomb of the Unknown Slave

I went to visit the Tomb of the Unknown Slave located right outside the Church. It is a very sobering memorial and worth a visit.

Church with an Interesting History

We had stopped by this church and heard it, and the surrounding neighborhood's history which was interesting to say the least. The service is 2 hours, and comes highly recommended with the service the first hour and choir for the 2nd.

Great way to finish off a trip to New Orleans. Went to Sunday mass with the friendliest outgoing congregation. Don’t have to be Catholic to enjoy the service. More singing, clapping and holding hands than any mass I have ever been too. Try to show...More

That sound? That flavor? That certain je ne sais quoi
that lets you known you’re in “Nawlins” and nowhere
else? It’s all good and in broad abundance on the
streets of Tremé, where so much of what’s considered
to be the very best of New Orleans culture and
tradition is, put simply, just how people go about
their daily lives in this historic part of town. As
