    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.

Our guide was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable not only about cemeteries, but New Orleans as well. I definitely recommend this tour.

It was a cemetery I always wanted to make it over to but finally made the call when they offered a tour again [I enjoy getting the details just walking around doesn't offer]. I love that the small ticket price goes to preserving the amazing cemeteries around New Orleans. Our tour guide was personable, funny, and passionate about being there despite the heat. This was my second Save Our Cemeteries event I attend and I haven't been disappointed!

We had an excellent tour of St. Roch Cemetery in the St. Roch neighborhood. Our guide was Dana Criswell. She is very knowledgeable, has an engaging personality, and lives in the neighborhood. We were fortunate to have a visit inside the chapel located in St. Roch No. 1 which has had some very nice restoration work. After the tour we had a nice lunch at St. Roch Market on St. Claude. Save Our Cemeteries is an organization that everyone who cares about the history and culture of the city should support.
