The St. Louis IX Art Society is ushering in a new springtime of sacred art and beauty in South Louisiana, and we accomplish this mission by

  • hosting showcase, lecture, and parish mission chamber concert events,

  • commissioning our society artists to create original sacred art for under-resourced Catholic parishes and schools,

  • publishing the Joie de Vivre journal of Catholic art, culture, and letters for South Louisiana, and

  • preserving, beautifying, and creating Catholic churches and schools through Sainte-Chapelle Studios, our fully-licensed sacred architecture firm.

For centuries, Catholic patrons have enabled artists to create the world's most enduring works, and with your help, we can facilitate a revitalization of Catholic culture through sacred art and beauty.

Current, our passionate team of artists, theologians, authors, and architect, are

  • editing and designing the Summer 2025 issue of Joie de Vivre,

  • working on various architectural and design projects for local Catholic parishes and schools through Sainte-Chapelle Studios,

  • preparing for our Fall 2025 slate of public lecture, mission, and poetry events,

  • planning our Spring 2026 Joie de Vivre Louisiana Arts & Culture Festival, and

  • creating two original pieces of sacred art for the Camp Abbey chapel in Covington, LA.

We hope to continue this work for years to come; however, we can only do so with your support! Donations are tax deductible. Thank you for your generosity!
