Mardi Gras New Orleans Style
Our Sisters in New Orleans know how to celebrate Mardi Gras, no matter what the weather.
The atmosphere was a little frightful too! Some of the parades were cancelled, postponed or rerouted when the weather turned from wonderful to extremely windy.
The pictures are from the famous Endymion parade and from a gathering of our Sisters and friends on Mardi Gras day that included a wonderful menu prepared Sr. Suzanne's cousin. Please click here to view.
