The Cathedral-Basilica of Saint Louis, King of France,
also called St. Louis Cathedral is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese
of New Orleans and among the oldest cathedrals in the United States. The first
church on the site was built in 1718; the third, built in 1789, was raised to
cathedral rank in 1793. The cathedral was expanded and largely rebuilt in 1850,
with little of the 1789 structure remaining.
Saint Louis Cathedral is in the French Quarter of New
Orleans, Louisiana, USA located next to
Jackson Square and facing the Mississippi River in the heart of New Orleans.
Today the Parish has more than 6,000 members. Source:
