New Orleans, LA 70130
A popular, prayerful pilgrimage site to a saintly favorite known as the "Cheerful Ascetic". This Redemptorist priest possessed great mystical gifts due to his intense prayer life. Many miracles are attributed to Father Seelos' intercession both during his life and after his death in the 1867 New Orleans yellow fever epidemic.
