On Friday, March 31, 2017, Mayor Mitch Landrieu hosted faith leaders from across the parish at Dooky Chase’s Restaurant to discuss pressing issues in the spiritual community. After a few words and a blessing from Archbishop Gregory Aymond, attendees enjoyed a delicious breakfast prepared by New Orleans’ own Leah Chase and family.
After the meal, Mayor Mitch Landrieu addressed the attendees. Mayor Landrieu encouraged faith leaders to remain steadfast in their commitment to inclusivity and diversity as we lift up New Orleans as a welcoming and equitable city.
Following questions from faith leaders, the Mayor yielded the podium to Bishop Darryl S. Brister to offer remarks and a closing prayer.
As bishops, pastors, rabbis, and imams from throughout the City ate breakfast Friday morning, we were truly reminded what it means to be one team, one fight, one voice, one city.
Special thanks to all who attended, and to the wonderful Leah Chase for her warm hospitality.
