The Catholic Church built St. Patrick Cemeteries 1, 2, and 3 to accommodate the Irish immigrants who streamed into New Orleans during the 1840s, fleeing the difficult times in Ireland. The St. Patrick cemeteries have the typical above ground family tombs a visitor to New Orleans expects to see.

| These tombs must have cost a fortune. |
