Recognizing that parents are the primary catechists of their children, the Parish School of Religion at Most Holy Trinity strives to assist parents in bringing their children up in faithfulness to Christ and His Church. Through catechesis, prayer and devotions, liturgical celebrations, and personal witness, we strive to communicate Christ’s love to PreK-11th grade students.
Our Religious Education Department has been set up under the guidance of the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Textbooks are approved by the Archdiocese and the USCCB, and our catechists are either certified or working toward certification.
Special Education: Classes are offered to children with special needs whenever necessary.
RCIC (Rite of Christian Initiation for Children): Classes are offered, as needed, for children who have not received First Eucharist and Reconciliation by the second grade. Contact the Director of Religious Education for more information.

First Eucharist and Reconciliation
Children preparing for First Reconciliation and First Communion are required to receive at least two years of catechesis in our Parish School of Religion, as well as demonstrating faithful Mass attendance.
Your child’s First Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion are a unique and intimate encounter with Jesus. You are the most influential person in your child’s life, and the reverence you model for the Holy Eucharist is the reverence they will learn to imitate.
Draw your child more deeply into Eucharistic reverence by praying with them before and after you receive Holy Communion.Try to arrive for Mass a few minutes early and pray together. Saying a special prayer in this way will teach your child to reverence the holy moment of receiving Communion.
Always take your time when genuflecting to Jesus present in the Tabernacle. Show great love and respect for Jesus truly present Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity there.
