Points of Interest

Stop At: St Roch Cemetery No. 1 ~ Campo Santo
1725 Saint Roch Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70117
St. Roch Cemetery, founded in 1874, was established by the Rev. Peter Leonard Thevis. According to legend, during the deadly outbreak of yellow fever in 1868, Rev. Thevis prayed to St. Roch, the Patron Saint of Good Health, and vowed to build a chapel to the Saint if his congregation was spared. When no one died, a shrine and a chapel were built. St. Roch Cemetery is unique in that it has the Stations of the Cross depicted with statuary carved in Italy by the workshop of Italian sculptor Enrico Arrighini. An annual procession of the 14 stations is still celebrated every year on Good Friday. There must be a minimum of 4 guests signed up to take this tour. If it is cancelled you will receive an email.
