Have you ever heard the story of an altar’s journey? The Resurrection of Our Lord Church stands before you a testament to faith and resilience. This isn’t just any church in New Orleans. It holds a unique history woven into its very structure. The altar within these walls wasn’t always here. It began its life in a different church. It was the original altar of St Cecilia’s Church. That church closed in 2001. Hurricane Katrina later struck New Orleans. The destruction was immense. St Cecilia’s was repurposed into an adult activity center. But its altar found a new home. It now resides in the Resurrection of Our Lord Church. A symbol of survival and rebirth.
