No other city celebrates life the way New Orleans does! It has a profound and colorful 300-year history, unparalleled cuisine, vibrant music scene, non-stop festivals, and resilient, creative people! We come to savor every drop, dance carefree in a Second Line, cruise the Mighty Mississippi on an iconic paddle boat, ride a Street Car through the historic Garden District. No matter where you hail from, we all speak the language of New Orleans when we’re there. Church of New Orleans exists to keep the Big Easy conversation going … wherever you are!

Who? What? Why?

“Church” comes from a Greek word meaning “an assembly”, so for us, “Church” isn’t a religion or building … it’s an assembly of people who love the Crescent City. My Brothers and Sisters, you and I are the “Church of New Orleans”!

The Church of New Orleans site was established in 2018 by L. D’Ableaux, a Los Angeles native who first came under NOLA’s spell in the mid-1990’s. The amazing city and culture that is New Orleans developed organically over time and from it has sprung some of the most unique contributions to the fabric of America and the world. This is something to be appreciated, supported and protected … these are the goals of the Church of New Orleans.

So, L. D’Ableaux continuously seeks out all things New Orleans in his home town of Los Angeles, or wherever he is, and shares his findings, thoughts, love, with all Church of New Orleans members!
