Saint Patrick's Church

Established 1833
by Bishop Leo De Neckere, C.M.
This church, completed in 1840
during the pastorate of
Father James I. Mullon,
is the oldest parish church
outside the French Quarter.
In 1850
St. Patrick's served
as pro-cathedral
while the St. Louis Cathedral
was undergoing reconstruction.
Here Bishop Antoine Blanc
received the pallium as
first Archbishop of New Orleans
on February 16, 1851.
St. Patrick's is
reguarded as the mother church of
uptown New Orleans.
