St. Joseph's Church, New Orleans Night Light. The Original New Orleans Night Light. Diffuses the light softly through the image. Each one is handcrafted in my New Orleans studio. They are 3x3 inches & come with a 4 watt light bulb.
St. Joseph parish was established in February, 1844 to serve a growing population in New Orleans. The original St. Joseph church was located on Tulane Avenue, opposite Charity Hospital. It was of medium size Gothic architecture, with a tall front steeple. This original St. Joseph church, later called St. Katherine church, was demolished in 1964. The present church, pictured on the night light, was dedicated on Sunday, December 18, 1892 and officially opened for parochial services on January 1, 1893.
