| NEW ORLEANS CHURCHES, an historical
photo album of historic places of worship in the New Orleans area. |

This site provides a
single, universal resource for locating Southeast Louisiana area churches.
Whether you are seeking a suitable place to worship, or you simply wish
to enjoy the beautiful and historic architectural treasures that many
of our area churches represent, we welcome you to the most comprehensive
regional directory of churches ever assembled. We also offer the facilities
of this site to the local clergy of all faiths, to use as your web resource
or as a link to direct visitors to your official church site. For more
information, please see our MISSION
STATEMENT.

| THE RESOURCES
OF THIS WEB SITE ARE FREE TO ALL AREA CONGREGATIONS! |

A SERVICE TO ORGANISTS AND ORGAN
HISTORIANS: Neworleanschurches.com also serves
as a universal repository for organ specifications and history of pipe organs
in this area. Each church page within the site will list organ history and
specifications if that information is known to us. We strive to offer a
comprehensive listing of every organ known to have been built or shipped
to New Orleans and the surrounding area. A complete listing is available
at
www.ohsno.org. If anyone has additional information on any New Orleans
area pipe organ, please contact us and we will be happy to list it. Supporting
information is provided with the assistance of organ historian James Stettner
and with information provided by Jeff Scofield, Alan Kinsey, Sand Lawn,
and The Organs Of The United States and Canada Database which is a project
of Mr. George Nelson. Without the generous help of these folks, we would
not have been able to gain access to much of the historical information. |

churches, I will be happy to add them to the site. Please contact me at
: jdemajo@demajo.net and I will schedule an appointment to come photograph
your facility. I will also happily add any factual information on the
churches and their histories. Documenting the history of the churches,
and the specifications of any historic pipe organs contained in them,
will be my next phase of work in developing the site.
