Brothers of the Sacred Heart in New Orleans (Images of America)
Item Description
When New Orleanians ask "Where did you go to school?" they aren't asking what university you attended but what high school. That tells a native a lot about you. For over 150 years, the Brothers of the Sacred Heart have educated the young men of New Orleans, giving them the opportunity to answer the question proudly by replying St. Stanislaus, St. Aloysius, Cor Jesu, or Brother Martin. Images of America: Brothers of the Sacred Heart in New Orleans showcases photographs, illustrations, and maps tracing the role of the institute in making New Orleans a vibrant and dynamic city, able to overcome even the worst of adversity. From their roots in the French Quarter, moving to Faubourg Marigny, and finally settling in Gentilly, the Brothers of the Sacred Heart continue to make a major contribution to metro New Orleans and Southeast Louisiana.

A Study in Faith, Education, & Service: "Brothers of the Sacred Heart in New Orleans"
2010-08-09
Reviewer: John J. Di Maggio
Edward J. Branley (UNO and Brother Martin Alum) did a great job of researching & outlining the history of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart. He also obtained a wealth of photographs which document the evolution of the Brothers' educational activities in the Gulf Coast/New Orleans area. The Brothers of the Sacred Heart were/are an amazing group of Gentlemen. They are dedicated to their faith and to the total development & growth of their students. The foundation of knowledge, skills, moral character, and experience, which they worked so hard to provide, has served their graduates, and the New Orleans community, very well. A very good read!
