Mission Statement
Offices of the Archdiocese of New Orleans

"Impelled by God’s call and inspired by the vision of the Ninth General Synod, the ministries of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, in union with the Archbishop and with one another, serve the people, parishes, schools and organizations of the archdiocese, enabling them to encounter Jesus and witness his love with joy."

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the website for the parish of St. Louis King of France Catholic Church. Whether you are a newcomer to our area in search of a parish home, a member of the parish family, a Catholic coming home or simply a "cyber-surfer," it is my conviction that the Lord has led you to this page. Your presence is lovingly welcomed and appreciated within our global Catholic community.

Our parish is a Christo-centric community in Metairie, Louisiana. Diverse in makeup, we are young and old, natives and transplants. We exist for one reason: to come to know and be conformed to, the Person of Jesus. In prayer and worship and service, we gather in His Name, relying on His promise to be in our midst. Founded firmly in the faith and truth of the Catholic Church, we are proud of our heritage and hopeful for our future. 

May God be with you and yours in your journey of faith!

we are compelled to further the Reign of God in our families, our parish, 
and our community through welcome and outreach to everyone.

Parish Mission Statement:

We the people of St. Louis King of France Catholic Church, compelled by our faith in Jesus Christ, strive to be a community centered in the Eucharist and rooted in the Word of God. We commit ourselves to be educated in the truth, promote the dignity of human life and be faithful stewards of God's gifts.   Called to holiness, we dedicate ourselves to the ongoing mission of Christ through the celebration of the sacraments, evangelization and service to others.
