The St. Louis Cathedral is the home of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans. The parish has over 6000 members and it was designated as a minor basilica by Pope Paul VI in 1964. Hurricane Katrina inflicted notable damage to the cathedral and especially to its prized pipe organ which had to be sent away to be rebuilt. The cathedral is supposedly haunted by Fr. Antonio de Sedella, a former priest at the cathedral whose body is buried within the church.
