A mass was said at noon, March 8, 1995, at Holy Trinity [[Roman Catholic]] Church at 721 St. Ferdinand St. The historic church has since closed because of declining attendance and termite infestation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.neworleanschurches.com/holytrinity/holytrin.htm|title=Holy Trinity Catholic Church|publisher=neworleanschurches.com|accessdate=April 8, 2014}}</ref>
