New Orleans Off The Beaten Path: 196 reviews and 288 photos
Holy Name of Mary Church was built in 1929 in Tudor Gothic style with over 75 stained glass windows (several from the Meyer firm of Munich, Germany) and beautiful marble and artwork from an earlier church. The Catholic parish in Algiers was established in 1848, and a small wooden church was built across from the Duverje home on Morgan St. In response to a growing population, the congregation first built at this location (a mid-19th century site of voodoo dancing and a Federal prison camp during the Civil War) in 1870.
To get there take the Ferry from Canal Street to the West Bank and walk along the levee until you get to Olivier. Walk up Olivier until you see the church on your right.
