On July 28, the Christian Brothers celebrated 100 years of continuous ministry in Louisiana with a mass at St. Louis Cathedral followed by a gala party aboard the Steamboat Natchez and an exhibition preview party at the Old Ursuline Convent Museum. A temporary exhibit is now on display dedicated to the educational ministry of the Christian Brothers in Louisiana.
The new exhibit features memorabilia from the four existing Christian Brothers schools in New Orleans as well as photos dating back as far as 1918 when the Christian Brothers reestablished their educational ministry in Louisiana after leaving the state in 1900.
