We welcome you to the webpage of the Metairie Chapter (ministry Mother Chapter) in Louisiana.

Metairie Magnificat Breakfast

December 5, 2026

Location
Knights of Columbus

St. Jerome Council No. 6746

3310 Florida Ave. and 33rd Street

Kenner, LA  70065

                                                                                 Speaker: Audrey Huck

One of nine children, Audrey was blessed to be raised in a home rooted in “rich soil” (Matthew 13:8), where the seeds of faith were lovingly planted and cultivated. From an early age, the Lord has been faithful in both meeting and sustaining her—especially through the grace of the sacraments—awakening in her heart a deep and abiding love for Jesus Christ and His Church.

Throughout her life, this love has borne fruit in a desire to share the Good News of the Catholic faith with others. Audrey has served the Church in many roles, including Catholic school teacher, youth minister, and Director of Media and Catechetics.

Above all, Audrey cherishes her primary vocation as wife to her husband, Tom, and mother to their six living children, striving each day to fight the good fight and lead her family closer to Christ through the domestic church.

Audrey currently serves as Director of Children’s Formation, Marriage & Family Life, and Women’s Ministry at Mary Queen of Peace Church in Mandeville, LA, where she joyfully accompanies others in growing deeper in faith and relationship with the Lord.

History of Magnificat Metairie, Mother Chapter

(Archdiocese of New Orleans)
The first Magnificat Breakfast was held in New Orleans, LA on Oct. 7, 1981. During the next 6 years expansion of the ministry took place necessitating division of duties between two teams: a central service team to concentrate on expansion and a Metairie service team to plan the MAGNIFICAT Meal locally and have the privilege of being called the “Mother Chapter.”
