CORONA VIRUS UPDATES:
(UPDATES WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSTED HERE
AND ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE)

• UPDATE: Holy Week Schedule 
  • Connect HERE to see our Holy Week Schedule of streaming services (not open to the public.)
  • Note as well the changes to hours that the Church will be open for private prayer during Holy Week.

• UPDATED 4/2: Confession:  
  • Confessions are still available at MHT by appointment. Call the MHT office at 985-892-0642, press “1” to reach the rectory and to schedule an appointment. 
  • Updated: Fr. Damian will be available to hear “outdoor” Confessions, Monday - Thursday, from 11:00 a.m. - noon, at MHT. For the safety of all, Father and all those who are waiting will be required to practice safe, 6-foot “distancing.” As we expect a substantial turnout, and as Father is still recovering from his bout with Covid, we are being asked to keep our Confessions to-the-point, in kind and number. Spiritual counseling, visiting, and longer discussions will, under the circumstances, have to be deferred until another time.

• UPDATED Livestreaming: MHT will live-stream the following on our Facebook page and embed here on our website (at right):
  • Masses:
    • Updated: Fr.Bourg will not be available for 7:15 a.m. mass between now and Easter.
    • Fr. Damian: Sunday through Friday, 4:00 p.m. 
  • Stations of the Cross:  Fridays at 7:00 p.m.

• The MHT office will be closed indefinitely, but we will continue to serve you as follows:
  • If you need a tax letter, email Jane at  jmaniscalco@mhtcc.net
  • If you’d like a mass said, email Kathy at kdecareaux@mhtcc.net
  • For other office inquiries, email office@mhtcc.net
  • If you need to reach a priest in the event of an emergency, call the office and press “1” to be connected to the rectory. 
  • We will continue to minister through streaming of Masses, Stations of the Cross, and the Lenten mission, and the continuous prayers of our clergey and staff, and we will continue to keep you updated through this website, Facebook, and the Triune.

• Faithfully in Touch
  • In an effort to keep in touch with each of our parish families, we are seeking volunteers to make phone calls to check on their well-being. Click here to sign up to make 25 calls to fellow parishioners from your home. Many thanks for assisting with this ministry.
    In addition, please be on the lookout for those calls - possibly from a number you don’t recognize - so that we can find out how you are doing and how MHT can assist you. 

• The Church will be open weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Sundays from 7:00 a.m. to noon, for visitation and private prayer.

• Previously cancelled events and activities will remain suspended or cancelled until further notices. These include public Masses, previously scheduled Parish Reconciliation evenings, Stations of the Cross, Fish Fries, all classes, organizational meetings, etc. 

• MHT’s Lenten Mission: The Third Mission talk, “ Is the Church from Christ?” can be viewed HERE and the outline accessed HERE. 

• A schedule of  additional streaming liturgies and prayers throughout the Archdiocese can be found HERE.

• Our Deanery is reaching out to residents of Christopher Homes. Read HERE and HERE to see how you can help.

• Both the printed and electronic version of the Clarion Herald will be available during these challenging times. The electronic edition of the Clarion Herald is available online now at clarionherald-la.newsmemory.com. It is can be easily accessed through the “Clarion Herald eEdition” link at clarionherald.org.

• The Archbishop issued a new letter on March 24th, asking for a Day of Prayer and Fasting on March 27th. Read the full letter HERE. 

• The Archbishop issued a new pastoral letter on March 19th, which can be found HERE.

• The Archbishop's statement on March 16th, regarding public masses and other gatherings being cancelled, is as follows:
  
  In a letter addressed to the clergy, religious, and laity today, Archbishop Gregory Aymond announced the cancellation of all public Masses, the upcoming Evenings of Confession, Stations of the Cross, and other gatherings at churches effective immediately. This is to encourage the faithful to comply with the instructions of President Trump and Governor Edwards. Both reduced the recommended number of people to gather in light of the spread of COVID-19. You can read the full letter here. 
  
  The Archbishop reminds us that 11am Sunday Mass from St. Louis Cathedral is broadcast live on WLAE-TV and live streamed at the DailyMass.com and thedailymass.com facebook page.
  
  As we face this unprecedented public health challenge, may we call on the intercession of Our Lady of Prompt Succor as we have done over many years to intercede for us. 

Greetings in Christ!

Whether you are new to our website, to our parish, to the Catholic Church, or just searching…welcome! Most Holy Trinity strives to be a welcoming parish, where parishioners and visitors join in community to worship, learn, serve, celebrate, and offer support.

We are also committed to being a stewardship parish. In gratitude to our God who can never be outdone in generosity, we endeavor to support community needs both near and far, as well as the needs of our local and universal Catholic Church.

Above all, we strive to carry out the mission of the Catholic Church: to provide a transformative encounter with Christ through the truth of His Word and the redeeming grace of His Sacraments.

Most recently, we have been named a Dynamic Parish. Connect at the link above to read more about this exciting initiative to becoming a more engaged parish.

I invite you to visit our parish. Join us for mass, or a faith formation class, or perhaps schedule an appointment if you have been away from the Church. As fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, we at Most Holy Trinity look forward to welcoming you.           


              Fraternally yours,
              Reverend Rodney P. Bourg, 
              Pastor
 


 

My Jesus, 
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. 
I love You above all things, 
and I desire to receive You into my soul. 
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally, 
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.

MON-FRI:     Suspened at this time.
