High School PSR & Confirmation

MHT's 2021 Confirmation was held November 11. Registration for fall 2022 Confirmation will open in late spring of 2022.
.
The catechetical session of our High School Religious Education Program for upcoming 8th-10th graders is held in June. (11th graders register for Confirmation.) Registration for summer 2022 will open in early Spring.

High Schoolers, as well as grades 6 & 7, are also invited to attend our Youth Group programs. More information about Youth Group can be found HERE.

In an effort to provide our teens with catechetical experiences that both educate their minds and move their hearts to a life-long relationship with Christ, Most Holy Trinity has formatted its High School Program (8^th through 10^th grades)  as follows:
(See below for information regarding 11th grade Confirmation prep classes.)

• A 2-week, half-day, summer catechetical session at the beginning of the summer, for the upcoming school year.
  • This summer session consists of two grade-level catechetical sessions per day, along with activity time, prayer time, and opportunities for Mass and Confession during the two weeks.
  • This two week catechetical session is held Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.- noon.

• Additional requirements to be met throughout the school year:
  • Attendance at one retreat throughout the year (World Youth Day, Abbey Fest, CCRNO Youth Retreat, etc.)
  • 5 service hours with theological reflection, due end of the school year. (See form on this page’s sidebar.)
  • Periodic attendance at MHT Youth Group gatherings (Seven required over the course of the school year.) Youth Group schedule is available HERE.

Preparation for Confirmation aims to lead Christians toward a more intimate union with Christ; a more lively familiarity with the person, actions, and gifts of Holy Spirit; and an awakened sense of belonging to the Catholic Church and the parish community.
Confirmation is conferred in the Archdiocese of New Orleans in 11^th grade.

(Adults who have not yet been Confirmed are directed to the RCIA page HERE.)
