St. Edward the Confessor - Metairie, LA

For 60 years, St. Edward the Confessor Parish has been more than a place of worship — it has been the cornerstone for countless faithful Catholics and their families. It has been a spiritual home, a school of faith and a vibrant community for generations of Catholics.

Our parish is more than just buildings. It is a home. A place where we come together as a community—to worship, to support one another in times of need, and to live out our faith in service and love.

Take a moment to reflect: what brought you to St. Edward? Was it a feeling of welcome when you first attended Mass? The school where your children learned and grew in faith? Or the legacy passed down through family, thereby making St. Edward part of your story?

As we celebrate 60 years, we invite you to look ahead with us. What do you envision for the future of our parish and school? With your support, we can continue to grow and strengthen our ministries, enhance our facilities, and ensure that St. Edward remains a place of worship, learning, and community for generations to come.

Our goal for iGiveCatholic is to raise $150,000 for a series of vital projects that will enhance our church’s beauty, safety, and hospitality:

• Updated church lighting: Brighter, more energy-efficient space that will provide a better environment for our worship
• New paint for main church walls and cry rooms: A renewed, beautiful setting that reflects the dignity of our worship
• Refreshed flooring in aisles and on altar: Uplift the space visually, creating a clean, light-filled environment
• New glass entry doors with panic bars: Natural light provides a welcoming openness while enhancing safety for everyone

We invite you to be part of the next chapter in the story of St. Edward. Your generosity ensures that our parish and school remain places that are inviting and welcoming, vibrant and strong for future generations. Let’s celebrate our past, strengthen our present, and build a future of faith - to help us continue the mission of worship, education, and service that has defined us for six decades.
