About Us

We are a Stewardship parish. We believe that everything we has been gifted to us by God. He has given us the responsibility to take care of what we have - All is His! 

Fr. Mike Schmidts does a great job explaining stewardship and what it means to be part of a stewardship parish! 

Most Holy Trinity Parish was officially founded on June 11, 2005, the Feast of The Holy Trinity.  Father Rodney P. Bourg was named as pastor of the new parish, which was formed to accommodate the increasing population in Western St. Tammany, fueled in part by post-Katrina relocations. 

Initially meeting at Rouquette Lodge, Most Holy Trinity found an interim home in a former pet store and affectionately came to be referred to as the “Mr. Fish Church.” In our humble but nurturing “Mr. Fish” location, our parish grew, and ministries and organizations flourished. Most Holy Trinity quickly distinguished itself as a “stewardship parish,” committed to offering the time, talent, and treasure of its members in support of the parish, the community, and the universal Church.  

In time, Archbishop Gregory Aymond and Father Bourg shepherded the parish through the planning and construction of our present, permanent home, which includes not only our Church, but our Family Life Center and Pastoral Center as well. We joyfully celebrated our Church’s dedication on January 24^th, 2016.

Our Church could aptly be considered “something old, and something new.” Clean architectural lines belie the legacy of tradition that is embedded within. Many of the Church’s most impressive aspects are in fact legacy items inherited from across the Archdiocese and the country, a tribute to churches and congregations of the past.                                                                                                              
The stained-glass windows lining the church formerly graced St. Maurice Roman Catholic Church in the Lower 9^th Ward, which was deconsecrated in 2008—part of the toll of Hurricane Katrina.

The Infant Jesus of Prague statue came from St. Maurice as well, while the statues of Our Lady of Prompt Succor and St. Joseph came from St. Theresa the Little Flower of the Child Jesus Catholic Church.

The beautiful angels worshipping at the tabernacle were donated by the Marianites of the Holy Cross. The stations of the cross originated from a closed Catholic church in Iowa, the donation of generous parishioners.

Most Holy Trinity inherited two sets of hand bells: one from St. Maurice and the other from St. Rose de Lima in New Orleans. The gold lace on the altar and tabernacle cloth were preserved and restored, formerly gracing St. Rose de Lima’s altar in New Orleans.
                                                                                                             

New features impress as well: The stunning ten-foot glass triquetra window above the Church’s entrance brilliantly displays the parish’s Trinitarian symbol.

The Baptismal font in the Narthex, modeled after the Church of the Roman Martyrs in Rome, incorporates a Trinitarian aspect as well, with its three interlocking circles.

                                                                                                               



The crucifix and sunburst that hang above the altar, crafted by gifted parishioners and a local Catholic friend of the parish, artistically depict the Paschal Mystery of Christ’s dying and glorious rising.

The tabernacle and altar furniture, again incorporating our Trinitarian symbol, were designed by a local artist, and all altar furniture was manufactured locally.
