Cultura Vitae Fest

Celebrating Catholic Culture

Holy Trinity Academy and Chesterton Academy of Holy Trinity are excited to host the INAUGURAL Cultura Vitae Fest, a celebration of Louisiana Catholic culture. The Fest includes Catholic vendors such as schools, artisans, businesses, and religious orders, as well as live performances from musicians and a Knights of Columbus and Peter Claver culinary cook-off. "Cultura Vitae" is Latin for the "Culture of Life." This festival aims to support and celebrate our Catholic culture and heritage. The event promises to be action-packed family fun as Knights of Columbus and Peter Claver chefs from all over Louisiana compete for the title of Best Culinary Knights Council. Enjoy performances by Catholic musical acts from around the country, celebrate Mass in the morning, and experience Adoration at sunset, all while exploring our Catholic shopping village.

The event is scheduled for Saturday, November 1, 2025, on the campus of Holy Trinity Academy and Chesterton Academy of Holy Trinity from 9 AM until 6 PM. We will begin the day with Mass and conclude with evening Adoration. Eventgoers will be served small tastings from over 30 Knights of Columbus and Peter Claver Councils. Festival entertainment will be provided by Catholic music artists from around the US. Additionally, the festival will feature a shopping village complete with exclusively Catholic businesses, artists, schools, religious orders, and Dioceses. Attendees will collectively experience the entirety of Catholic culture in Louisiana, including liturgy, music, arts, and food.

We would love for you to join us as a festival partner! Proceeds from the event will benefit Holy Trinity Academy and Chesterton Academy of Holy Trinity.
