Tonight - Tonight!!! The Friends of Saint Alphonsus host this season’s second Fun Under the Frescoes concert at St. Alphonsus Church (2025 Constance St.) in the Irish Channel with the witty New Orleans troubadour Philip Melancon from 6:00 to 8:00 pm!
Beverages will be provided by Gordon Biersch, Vino Wholesale, and Old New Orleans Rum. Food Network’s Chopped Champion Ms. Linda Green will have delicious food available for purchase. This event would not be possible without the generous support of the New Orleans Hash House Harriers – Red Dress Run.
Schedule for 2012 - 2013
Celebrating the rich history of St. Alphonsus, the series culminates on March 13th with an Irish extravaganza featuring the Crescent City Celtic Band and the McTeggart Irish Dancers.

**St. Alphonsus Catholic Church was built in 1855 to serve the needs of the Irish Catholic immigrants who began settling in the neighborhood in the 1840s. In 1979, the church was closed. After a continuing fall into decline, FOSA was formed in 1990; in 1996, the building was declared a National Historic Landmark. With glorious, yet deteriorating, ceiling frescoes and stained glass windows over a century old, the building is breathtakingly beautiful and has been featured in Treme and several movies… and the acoustics rock!
Enjoy fabulous music with your friends and support one of New Orleans’ cultural treasures, the 155 year-old Saint Alphonsus Church. We will see you this season for Fun Under the Frescoes!
