Mother Catherine and The Temple of the Innocent Blood 

This performance is a part of a work in progress. The company is interested in the history and the future of the 9th Ward and we would like to be in touch with you. If you have stories related to Mother Catherine’s legacy, if you live or have lived in the area where this performance is taking place, we would appreciate your thoughts on the show, any memories about the neighborhood you'd care to share, and what you'd like to see happening in the area going forward. We would like to make this celebration of Mother Catherine’s work an annual event. Our goal is to add a ‘living voices’ segment to the show and we want to hear from you.
