SW FT-542 St Louis Cathedral, New Orleans, Louisiana

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: Wikipedia
