I've visited several churches in New Orleans, as well as many other cities. St. Paul Lutheran…read morestands out as one of the friendliest and most welcoming I've ever attended as a newcomer. The church is housed in a beautiful, historic building in The Marigny, which is an easy 20 minute walk down Burgundy from Esplanade in the lower French Quarter, for those of you who may be visiting. This morning's 10:30 traditional Lutheran service was attended by about 50 parishioners. The building suffered some damage from Hurricane Ida last summer which still has the pipe organ out of commission, but the piano they're using provided adequate accompaniment for the hymns and responses. The pastor delivered a great message on the call we all have to share the love of Christ with our neighbors, including our enemies. Following the worship service, we were invited downstairs for "Pasta with a Purpose", a lasagna brunch the high school youth group provided as a fund raiser for their upcoming trip to the national youth gathering in Houston. The organizers did an awesome job with the entire event, from the presentation to the Italian ambiance to having the high schoolers dressed as Italian waiters as they served the lasagna, salad, bread, drinks (including mimosas) and Italian ice for dessert. Bottom-line, I've been to sexier, higher energy worship services with better music, but never one warmer or more welcoming and inclusive than what I experienced today! Definitely planning a return visit!!!

This church is the first time I have been consistently been filled spiritually…read more It's been at least 20 to 30 years since I've felt consistently the presences of the Holy Spirit. This is so sad that churches will make you feel good but not fill you with the Holy Ghost . They are completely scared of offending the masses and just give them baby teaspoons of Spirit of God. Not saying they aren't contributing. However I can't can't remember very many times I haven't felt full of the Spirit and challenged to walk it throughout the week, here. It's a completely different space/ atmosphere, like walking into a different world. That's something I long for and have been missing for years. Thank you again for the pastors leading and his amazing family that leads worship and the tribe that has created a perfect temple for God's presents to dwell in.

I went through a difficult time when I moved from L.A. Back home to NOLA. As a "young adult" I had…read moreonly a handful of friends (high school and college friends) and it was difficult to make friends not being in school and single. Thankfully one of my church friends at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on the Westbank was part of the St. Dominic's Young Adult Group and invited me to join them. That was four years ago and since then I have been a Communications Chair, unofficial social chair (big shock I know! Hehe...) and participant. It was such a blessing reconnecting with my faith again and making wonderful friends in the process. the NOLA young adult Catholic groups are very active with Theology on Tap that is once a season and alternates between the Northshore and the Southshore. plus there is Christ in the City which is the first Tuesday night at 7pm at Notre Dame Chapel with reconciliation and Eucharistic adoration, plus a free drink ticket to Ye Olde College in afterwards. I have never officially been a parishioner at St. Dominic's but have been a lector for the 5:30pm daily mass on Thursdays which is when the St. Dominic Young Adult Group meets at 6:15pm usually in Aquinas Hall across the street next to the perpetual Eucharistic Adoration. There are bible studies which are awesome and usually led by deacons or priests. I also briefly sang in the choir but it was too much since I was already in the choir at my previous church (Holy Spirit Cstholic Church) in the Westbank. St. Dominic's is in the heart of Lakeview and is a huge church. They have a grammar school with the church and have numerous other groups. With the St. Dominic Young Adult Group I have had friends get married in the church, and their children baptized there. It holds a special place in my heart. Did I also mention a few years ago the Young Adult Group (YAG) went on a mission trip to Colombia to teach and volunteer in an orphanage. I wasn't able to go on the trip but helped raise money with bake sales, a "night in Madrid" dinner fundraiser etc. but last 4th of July I did get to join the group when we went to a mission trip to Tuscaloosa, AL to help the tornado victims. We cleared land outdoors and helped sort items at the Salvation Army. We even got to meet Reuben Studdard from American Idol who came in. It was a very rewarding experience! Just a note, the 10:15am mass seems to be the mass for families with children, and the 6pm mass is for the youth. It's a great church family! Oh, and they have an annual fair too!

This place is very disappointing. There is no community outreach otherwise there would be an…read moreinfusion of youth and energy in this place. With football games and stadiums full of energy around the country, this place is less than 1/5th Full. It is completely incomprehensible that while stadiums are full, this place has every other bench isle roped off, but there's not even enough people to fill the other seats. If you want to snooze in the middle of the day this is a perfect place to go. Not only does something feel off here, if you're looking for a place full of energy, to keep you awake during a spiritual teaching, this is not the place. I've had dentist appointments that were more exciting than attending this spiritual center. Where is the youth? where are the parents and the children? One hast to ask these questions, because if it church is dying it is dying because of its leadership and it is not bringing in parental units with their children to teach them what is A very productive message. However the delivery must be as exciting as the message itself. I have been here five times and out of those five times there has not been much in the way of different faces or bodies filling the seats. A spiritual center which can seat approximately 300 is seating about 25 people. That tells me not only does this have to do with the ridiculous mandates and laws against spiritual centers and churches and how many people may attend, it also Makes a very strong statement about how the community Embraces or excepts a particular spiritual center. If you're looking for a snooze fest this place is it. What happened to this place? It started out with an industrious and glorious past. It looks as if it's fallen on hard times. This can only be attributed to the inability of leader ship to pull people in from the community. They need great oratory Speakers, not mediocre ones. It would seem they just don't have what it takes to create a level of excitement around a spiritual commitment. In a case like this, soft spoken demure and whisper type oratory does not keep the energy up or the excitement circulating. A lecture is what is done in a college or University Hall. A teaching must be able to reach the congregation on a personal level. Pragmatic is fine, but lacking exuberance and enthusiasm does not keep the attention of your congregation. Possibly, this is exactly why this place isn't Filling 1/5 it's seats. Unity, standing there since probably the 1950s has not progressed to become a leader and its own community. I've had more excitement getting my teeth cleaned in the dentist chair. I guess this visitor to New Orleans is going to need to find another place where the energy is uplifting and the message is clear and the people filling the seats I'm not on their way out, but are on their way in and ready to live life.

Unity is a warm and welcoming place with many classes and activities promoting spiritual growth.read more
