Our Little Red Church is so special!! Thank you to the Archbishop for coming celebrate with our community🤍⛪️

On Sunday, Archbishop Checchio visited St. Charles Borromeo Parish in Destrehan for Mass. Did you know that St. Charles Borromeo was established up river from New Orleans in 1723, making it one of the oldest parishes in the Archdiocese of New Orleans? It was founded to minister to the German Coast settlers in what is now known as the River Parishes. For years, it was known as the "Little Red Church" and even provided an important marker for those traveling the Mississippi River by boat. Today, St. Charles Borromeo Parish ministers to the people on the East Bank of St. Charles Parish and is the only Catholic parish school educating children in preK through 7th grade.
