Splendors of Faith
From St. Louis Cathedral to Immaculate Conception, New Orleans' breathtaking cathedrals have withstood time and natural disaster and remain some of the most distinctive architectural masterpieces of the city. Join historian Charles Nolan and photographer Frank Methe as they explore thirteen of New Orleans' most fascinating cathedrals. Marvel at the stunning staiNed Glass, paintings, and other architectural wonders while learning the history behind the congregations. In a discussion led by Barbara Turner Windhorst, cathedrals become much more than a place of worship-they are community strongholds and historical treasure troves.
Charles E. Nolan is the retired archivist of the Archdiocese of New Orleans and retired adjunct of historical and pastoral theology at Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans. In addition to Splendors of Faith, he has worked on more than forty books on southern Catholic history.
As the photographer and photo editor for Clarion Herald, Frank J. Methe has photographed for several books, including another book with Charles Nolan, Cathedral-Basilica of St. Louis, King of France.
Barbara Turner Windhorst has worked with the archdiocesan Catholic Cultural Heritage Center since its establishment. She is a retired Superintendent of Jefferson Parish Public School System and is retired as the first lay president of Ursuline Academy.
