A Journal of Cultural Revival

Joie de Vivre is a great publication & I remain grateful to all those who share in making this publication available to us. It portrays Catholic art and culture in South Louisiana and helps us to grow in gratitude for these gifts. I always look forward to reading Joie de Vivre & feel renewed by the articles and artwork. What a gift to us as the people of God!”
