PRAYER
A Prayer for Catholic Schools
Almighty God,
You sent forth your Son as a beacon of hope for all people.
As Teacher, He has given us the prime example of the importance of education.
As disciples, we look to Him for inspiration and strength.
Thank you for the many people who have dedicated their lives in service to our Catholic Schools.
Thank you for the teachers and administrators who sustain our school.
Thank you for the parents who have given support and witness to the importance of Catholic education.
Thank you for the students who work hard to further their education.
Bless Holy Trinity Catholic School and the many people who advance our mission.
May our school be a home for those who seek to grow in openness, faith, love, intellect, and commitment to justice.
In Your name, we pray.
Amen.
A Note from Mrs. Longden
Thank you for building up our Catholic School
As we come to the end of Catholic Schools Week, I think it is important to thank everyone who makes our school not just possible, but thriving. We are grateful to the parishioners of Holy Trinity and St. Michael for the support they provide and to Father Strand for his spiritual guidance. We thank our parents for their commitment to a faith-filled education for their children. We thank our faculty and staff for their dedication and care. We thank our students for the joy and enthusiasm they bring to school each day. And finally, we thank God for the many blessings He has bestowed upon us.
Catholic schools cannot be beat. Catholic school teachers and students have an advantage to make a personal connection with God and to be on a continuous faith path while at school. At Holy Trinity, we can pray. We can pray alone and in groups. We can pray as an entire school together. We can pray at the top of our voices. We can pray silently. We can talk about God day in and day out. We can participate in religion classes and training. We practice our faith with traditions and rituals. We participate in weekly Eucharistic celebrations. We work hard to be virtuous, caring people for others and we influence each other to grow closer to God each day.
Thank you for a great Catholic Schools Week!
Blessings,
Mrs. Longden

Aspiration: Come Holy Spirit, increase in me the Gift of Fortitude

Tuition and Registration 2023-2024
Tuition and Registration Information for the 2023-2024 school year came home last week in the Family Folders.
Our enrollment numbers are key to sustaining and growing our school programs. Gaining a few new students each year benefits all families and staff members.
Having our kindergarten classes filled are critical to sustaining our numbers.
The best resource to recruit additional students is the testimony and the invitation from you, a current school family or supporter.
Please reach out to your friends, relatives, and neighbors. Invite them to consider our school in 2023.
Parent/Teacher Conferences
If you did not receive confirmation yet and requested a conference, please reach out to the school office.
Dress Code Forum
If you would like to come and share your thoughts regarding our current Liturgy Day dress code, please do.
We will be making a decision after the forum on if we will be going to be implementing the Liturgy Day dress code as an every day dress code.
Any questions, please contact Mrs. Longden at principal@htschool.net

Cast into the Deep
Our parishes have just begun a Parish-wide monthly renewal of our common practices, etc. that we often take for granted, and may even have forgotten about their meaning and significance. This monthly renewal is intended for all parishioners, as well as our Faith Formation and school children.
Our parishes are renewing our understanding of these basics of our Catholic faith as a part of our Eucharistic Revival initiative. The National Eucharistic Revival is a movement to restore understanding and devotion to this great mystery here in the United States by helping us renew our worship of Jesus Christ being present in the Eucharist. In the January 8th bulletin, the "Cast into the Deep" flyer explained the holy habit for this month: Genuflection. The flyer is attached below.
