Weekly Update

Holy Trinity Catholic School February 16th, 2023

Our Mission Statement

Our Mission is to Spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to Provide a High-Quality Education, and to Guide Children in Living the Catholic Faith.

PRAYER

Dear God, Help me today to understand what love really means.

I need a love that’s big enough to include all of us. Big enough for the dating and engaged couples, of course, with their giddy daydreams of a future together. But also big enough for the married folks, whether their passion for each other is still blazing brightly or barely more than a smoldering wick. Big enough for the singles toasting their independence, and for the singles wishing someone would come along and make that independence disappear. For the lonely and widowed and brokenhearted, I need a love that understands, a love that welcomes in hurt and sorrow instead of excluding them.

The love I need more than anything is Your love. Without Your love, no other love will ever be sufficient. And with it, every other love becomes richer and truer and more life-giving than it could have been otherwise. We have learned all our best loves from You: the love of faithful friends, of spouses and significant others, of parents and siblings and children. Love that commits. Love that sacrifices. Love that lays down its life. You authored each of these loves, taught us how to recognize them and long for them and give them away. Our best efforts at Valentine’s Day are just a fraction of the wholeness of love.

Today, let everything I see remind me of Your love. Let today be a day for love. Real love. Big love. Your love. - Gregory Cole

A Note from Mrs. Longden

Catholic schools play a critical role by instilling our faith as the cornerstone of our children's beliefs. We must further recognize and ensure that the principles of our faith guide our children and inspire a desire within them to achieve bright, Christ like, and rewarding futures as our next generation of leaders.

For years, Holy Trinity has provided our children with high standards of academic excellence and faith-based education. We consider our school, students, faculty, and staff to be among the best. We thank them, and we thank you, our dedicated parents and parishioners, for your enthusiastic and steadfast support of our school. Were it not for your generosity, ongoing support, and unwavering commitment to Holy Trinity, we would not be able to fulfill our commitment to each of you, our parishes, our community, and most importantly, to our children. I promise you that with your help, our mutual and firm commitment to instill faith in our students' hearts and to inspire bright, Christ like futures will continue to be our goal. God bless you all during this week.


Our school events, like Social Fest and Home and School activities, are important because they are healthy for our adult bodies, minds, and souls. At Holy Trinity we have events that are social and also support the school in a large way. Adults that are connected to the school are just as important as the children who attend the school. I invite you to be present at these events. Break out of the mindset of staying home. There are activities, you can meet with people, and you will support the school/parish. Jesus traveled with His followers and they drank wine at the wedding in Cana, they shared bread and fish with thousands, and they went to the upper room to fill their bodies, minds, and souls.

Blessings,

Mrs. Longden
