​On Saturday, Oct. 11 over 100 consecrated women and men representing over 30 religious orders ministering in the Archdiocese of New Orleans gathered to celebrated the Jubilee of Religious, one day after Pope Leo XIV welcomed nearly 20,000 religious men and women from around the world for the Vatican Celebration during this Jubilee Year. These local religious men and women celebrated their vocations and their journeys as “pilgrims of hope” this year and throughout their life times.
