Worship at Trinity

God's table
is open to all.

In 2027, Trinity will mark the 180th anniversary of its founding in 1847, and while it remains grounded in that tradition, the community today is firmly rooted in 21st-century New Orleans, with a vision and mission to seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving our neighbors as ourselves. Worship in the beautiful Anglican/Episcopal tradition lies at the heart of this vision, marked by sublime choral music, inspired preaching and teaching, and a warm welcome from a hospitable community. At Trinity, we believe Jesus invites everyone to his Table, so all are welcome to receive the Sacrament and to participate fully in the life of this place.

Three Sunday services anchor our week:

  • A traditional Rite I service at 8:00 a.m. in the chapel with hymns and organ;
  • The principal service at 10:30 a.m. in the church, celebrating Rite II with a semi-professional choir;
  • A Rite II service in the chapel at 5:00 p.m., led by a jazz/gospel duo.

Other regular offerings include:

  • A Taizé service of healing offered on the first Tuesday of the month at 6:00 p.m.,
  • YogaMass, bringing together yoga, breath work, meditation, and Communion, is held the first Saturday of every month at 10:30 a.m.

Trinity has a history of distinguished preaching, and it is our expectation that the next rector’s sermons will touch both heart and head while being biblically grounded and theologically sound. Such preaching is incarnational, vulnerable, and transparent; it avoids abstraction, points toward personal and communal transformation, and engages faithfully with the city and the world.

Trinity’s two full-time priests are, first and foremost, relational, bringing a compassionate heart for pastoral care that meets people where they are, in times of suffering and distress, or of joy and celebration. Alongside our two priests, Trinity’s clergy staff includes a vocational deacon and a Director of Pastoral Care, who together serve our diverse community. Regular hospital and home visitation, attentiveness to shut-ins (including a monthly service at Lambeth House, a local retirement community), and proactive outreach to those we haven’t seen in a while form the heart of this ministry. An active team of Lay Eucharistic Visitors maintains contact with those unable to worship in person. Trinity has historically maintained a staff of three full-time priests, and with our current Director of Pastoral Care nearing retirement, we hope the renewed energy the new Rector brings will help secure the funding needed to bring on a third priest.
