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

St. Patrick's Day Prayer

I arise today

Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,

Through a belief in the Threeness,

Through confession of the Oneness

Of the Creator of creation.

I arise today

Through the strength of Christ’s birth and His baptism,

Through the strength of His crucifixion and His burial,

Through the strength of His resurrection and His ascension,

Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.

I arise today

Through the strength of the love of cherubim,

In obedience of angels,

In service of archangels,

In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,

In the prayers of patriarchs,

In preachings of the apostles,

In faiths of confessors,

In innocence of virgins,

In deeds of righteous men.

I arise today

Through the strength of heaven;

Light of the sun,

Splendor of fire,

Speed of lightning,

Swiftness of the wind,

Depth of the sea,

Stability of the earth,

Firmness of the rock.

I arise today

Through God’s strength to pilot me;

God’s might to uphold me,

God’s wisdom to guide me,

God’s eye to look before me,

God’s ear to hear me,

God’s word to speak for me,

God’s hand to guard me,

God’s way to lie before me,

God’s shield to protect me,

God’s hosts to save me

From snares of the devil,

From temptations of vices,

From every one who desires me ill,

Afar and anear,

Alone or in a multitude.

I summon today all these powers between me and evil,

Against every cruel merciless power that opposes my body and soul,

Against incantations of false prophets,

Against black laws of pagandom,

Against false laws of heretics,

Against craft of idolatry,

Against spells of women and smiths and wizards,

Against every knowledge that corrupts man’s body and soul.

Christ shield me today

Against poison, against burning,

Against drowning, against wounding,

So that reward may come to me in abundance.

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,

Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,

Christ on my right, Christ on my left,

Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,

Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,

Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,

Christ in the eye that sees me,

Christ in the ear that hears me.

I arise today

Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,

Through a belief in the Threeness,

Through a confession of the Oneness

Of the Creator of creation.

Amen

Wow! March is kind of a whirlwind month with all of the things that are taking place at Holy Trinity Catholic School. From one event to the next, we move through this time of Iowa testing, Lent, Stations of the Cross, Reconciliation, registration time, and planning for upcoming events, like Social Fest.

There are definitely many balls that each of us juggles. The activity level does not take away from the one reason that we are a school. It is important to remember that we exist because of a mission to bring God into the lives of children and their families. We do this through prayer in Mass, throughout the day, and in other opportunities of our faith. We do this with traditional celebrations and practice. We do this by teaching and learning. We do this by passing on the fact that God loves us and loves our neighbor just as much. God is the one and only reason why we have a Catholic school and God definitely wants HTS to be here.

I want to thank all of the parents who have volunteered and supported Holy Trinity so far this year, and encourage all parents to involve yourselves in the life of our school community. There will be many opportunities to help with Social Fest! Let us know if you are interested in helping.

Blessings,

Mrs. Longden

To Jesus we go, through Mary

Thank you for your continued support of Holy Trinity and for prioritizing Catholic education in your child’s life. Registration for the 2025-26 school year is underway.

Tuition alone does not cover the cost of your child’s education. In addition to your tuition, support from our parishes and monies raised by third source funding help to cover the remaining gap. Therefore, the support of your parish and various fundraisers significantly impacts the cost of tuition.

It is our belief that when you send your child to Holy Trinity you place a high value on quality Catholic education. Your investment is personal, precious, and lifegiving. May God’s blessing be with you as we work together to provide the best learning environment for your child(ren).

If you have not turned in your registration yet, please do so.

Holy Trinity School Scholarship is due April 11th.

Be sure to fill out the application and return to school

Come visit the Easter Bunny and enjoy pancakes!
