The third month of 2021 brought, after what seemed like an endless tunnel of unknown challenges, a glimmer of hope to much of the world. Here at inRegister, though, we’d been anticipating brighter days for quite some time, collecting stories about Baton Rouge’s most stylish and interesting people and events with as much excitement as ever before.

Leave it to a food-centric cover story to attract attention.

2. How a small church in St. Amant inspires inclusivity amidst isolation

Stepping slightly outside parish limits, we looked to the nearby Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Catholic Church in St. Amant to parse out the ways its congregation came together to create the Full of Grace Café and its many services, an encouraging model for other faith-based communities looking to come together to offer free, dignifying services to those who need them the most—starting with a cup of coffee.

1. Celeb style: Kelly Clarkson’s Tennessee lake home

Ah, the lives of the rich and famous.

If you’ve never heard of this oasis outside Nashville yet, you’ll surely know it now.
