History: The Diocese of Louisiana and the Two Floridas (a.k.a. Diocese of St. Louis of New Orleans) was erected for the Spanish provinces of La Florida and Louisiana from territory of the Diocese of San Cristobal de la Habana, Cuba, 1793. With its territory reduced to the state of Louisiana, the diocese was renamed the Diocese of New Orleans, 1826, and elevated to the Archdiocese of New Orleans, 1850. It lost territory as more in-state dioceses were erected, 1825-1977. Statewide, New Orleans and its predecessor supported the following missions, parishes, and evangelization among Native Americans:
