Alexandria’s St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church hosted members and royalty from over nine local Mardi Gras Krewes for the Mass for the Feast of Epiphany Sunday, January 4. The Mass marks the end of the Christmas season and the beginning of the Mardi Gras season.
After the service, the congregation, Krewes and royalty were invited to the church hall for the traditional blessing of the king cakes by St. Frances Cabrini pastor Fr. Chad Partain. The church also served Queen’s soup, traditional fare for Mardi Gras Balls in New Orleans. This year’s event marks the 13th year that the Krewes have been invited to the Mass for the Feast of the Epiphany and Blessing of the King cakes. The Mardi Gras season is now upon us!
