Ulster Project New Orleans

We are very disappointed to announce the cancellation of the Ulster Project for this summer. After exhausting all avenues, including reaching out to Ulster Projects in other states and many insurance companies within and outside of Louisiana, we have not been able to secure insurance for our Project for this summer. Without insurance we cannot go forward with our plans to have one last group of teens visit from Castlederg.

Although we will not be welcoming teens to New Orleans this year, we would like to celebrate the many years of the Ulster Project here in our city. We will be having a Thanksgiving Dinner Reunion to get together and reconnect with old friends and share memories. We will have many old pictures and scrapbooks to share with everyone as well as chances for lots of Irish door prizes for everyone who attends. We will also have one last candle pass for everyone who wants to participate.

The Thanksgiving dinner will be held on Saturday, July 20 at 6-8pm at St Catherine of Siena Barrett Center at 105 Bonnabel Blvd. Dinner will be provided, so please use the link below to RSVP so that we have enough food for everyone. A pub crawl, not sponsored by the UP, will occur after the Thanksgiving Dinner for those who are interested in continuing the celebration. More information can be provided for those who are interested.

Dear Friends and supporters of the Ulster Project of New Orleans,

It is with a heavy heart that we tell you that our project to be held this summer in July 2024 will be the last one. We know that you will understand that this has been a difficult decision for all of us here in New Orleans and in Castlederg, but with waning volunteer and financial support, we simply cannot continue the Ulster Project as we have known it.

We are planning some fun All Ulster events this summer and hope many of you will come to the events, and see old friends, make some new ones of our newest teens and families and continue to support the New Orleans Project as our activities come to an end.

We would like to thank you for your support and hope to see you this summer!! Watch this spot for more information to come soon!!
