Welcome to the Our Lady of Good Counsel Web Site!

We are located in the 1200 block of Louisiana Avenue, between St. Charles Avenue and Magazine Street, in Uptown New Orleans.

The purpose of our web site is to keep our parishioners and visitors informed of what’s going on at Our Lady of Good Counsel.

Our hope is that by becoming informed, we may become involved and use our God-given talents to work with one another toward the Kingdom of God.
