    St Patrick and Our lady of perpetual help

    Beautiful church, welcoming congregation. They invite people from out of town to bring up the gifts.

    Beautiful church that is steeped in history. I went for Sunday mass so didn't go during church tour times but would love to come back just for that. I love when a place is filled with history has been restored but never lost residence and its original setting. Beautiful mass as well.

    Beautiful gilded alter and soaring Moorish nave

    Love this church that blends so many architectural styles. The church was originally completed in 1857. In the 1920s, the church was significantly damaged due to the construction of the Pere Marquette building next door. The floor of the church actually split in half requiring the church to be disassembled due to safety reasons in 1928. The new church building which incorporated many elements from the original church was dedicated in 1930. The Jesuit Church uses design elements from Gothic Revival, Moorish Revival and Byzantine Revival architecture. Love the Moorish rosettes and arches. The nave is soaring and open. The Moorish domes on top of the altar as well as the miter-shaped arches are so reminiscent of European cathedrals built in this style. The stained-glass windows are so beautiful. Definitely walk around to enjoy the elements, statues and prayer chapels. The altar is stunning. It was handmade in France and is plated with 24 karat gold. The design, by James Freret of New Orleans, won first prize in the Paris Exposition of 1867. There are more than 600 pieces to it. The statue of St. Peter is a bronze replica of the statue in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Similar to the statue in Rome, St. Peter's foot is worn down due to so many people that have touched it. The mosaics are beautiful. One represents Our Lady of Prompt Succor to honor two miraculous interventions by Mary in New Orleans. The first miracle was to save the old Ursuline Convent from a fire that ravaged the city in 1788. The second was a plea to help the Americans soldiers in the Battle of New Orleans in 1815 against the British. Check to schedule to enjoy a tour of even a service. I was able to catch the end of a Sunday morning organ service. So lucky to able to listen to the beautiful organ and soloist in this historic Jesuit church.

    The Immaculate Conception Jesuit Church is located in the central business district of New Orleans just off Canal Street. The church was originally built in the 1850s but suffered some foundational damage and had to be rebuilt in 1930. Interestingly, the second build was exactly the same as the first so what we saw here was what it looked like 150+ years ago. The interior was beautiful with stained glass windows all over and was very peaceful. When we stepped inside, we were the only ones there and it was so quiet. We were whispering while we were walking around because it felt weird to even talk in our normal voices and we didn't know if we were even supposed to be there. Even if you don't come here during mass, it is still nice to walk around and marvel at the beauty.

    If you are interested in architecture this is a must see, nestled in the midst of taller buildings. Other reviews report what there is to see. The facade with the Moorish domes stand out. I loved the beautiful mosaic of the Virgin Mary and statues of St. Anthony and St. Patrick near the entrance. Yes, gold altar from Lyon is stunning. I did wonder why there were six-pointed (Jewish) stars on most of the columns.

    This church is SO BEAUTIFUL. If you can participate in a service, you should. If not, you should definitely step inside to tour and enjoy the amazing Moorish architecture. Did I say it is SO BEAUTIFUL inside?

    A beautiful church with a hospitable congregation! I visited NOLA for a research conference, and this church was a walk away from my hotel. I don't normally hang around after mass for fellowship at a parish I'm visiting, but a couple parishioners invited me to have coffee and donuts with them in the hall so I joined in. Everyone was so welcoming and lovely. The church was so beautiful as well! I'm very glad I attended service here.

    Julie, Lynn, and Vance were absolutely wonderful in helping us coordinate our wedding ceremony and music. Even with our priest not making the rehearsal, Julie and Lynn made sure everything went smoothly the day of the wedding. Vance is a wonderful musician and added a special touch to our ceremony music with his trumpet. Our day was perfect and a huge part of that was thanks to them.

    Beautiful Moorish architecture. The bad thing is parking, there isn't any. It would be very convenient for Mass, if you stayed at the hotel across he street. I have walked alone all in that area and was a little afraid and ready to run when people approached me.

    This church was next door to our hotel. Beautiful old church in the French Quarter area; you could feel the history.

    Possibly the most beautiful traditional church in the United States. Must stop by and go to mass if you're a Catholic.

This deeply affected how I thought God saw me and I didn't want anything to do with church. I tried going back to church as a teen here, but my devotion to Christ was never wholehearted. I was baptized here at 13, but turned away. When I was 19, I found Jesus and no one here has ever been as judgmental and condemning as I assumed they were. I have been teaching Sunday school for about two years and I was so happy to have all of those children with me when I got baptized for the real-deal time. Thanks Celebration Church for helping me move past going through the motions of surface level faith! I now seek to reach my community with the gospel and edify the church.

The Metairie location has service on Saturday evening and two on Sunday. They also have lots of opportunities to get connected with others in your age range and/or with the same interests. Celebration has kid/teenager ministries suitable for all age ranges, and my niece and nephew always enjoy attending. If you arrive early, be sure to check out the bookstore and/or cafe for yummy coffee and treats. Celebration Church also have several other locations as well (Kenner, Slidell, Westbank, Mandeville, NOLA East, etc), so you'll never have to drive too far to attend.
