Weekly Update

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

Lord our God, we come to you, the source of all being. You have said to us, "I am your God. You shall have no other gods besides me. Honor none but me, your God." We thank you for this wonderful message. Help us to recognize you more and more, so that our hearts are full of the goodness and blessing we already have on earth, so that we hear you, the mighty One, say, "Stop, O people. Make peace. No one of you is more important than any other. Remember that I am God of all, in south and north, in west and east, on the oceans and everywhere. I am the one God, and through Jesus Christ I am now your Father."

Amen.

As we approach the holiday season, I want to take a moment to thank you, the parents of Holy Trinity Catholic School students, for choosing to send your children to our school. I see so many success stories and positive behaviors among our students. Whether overcoming challenges, showing kindness by helping a classmate with homework, comforting a friend in need, or simply thanking a teacher as they leave the classroom, our community stands out in remarkable ways. I am continually amazed by our students' care for one another, their respect for the environment, and the courtesy they show other visitors. These qualities are consistently reinforced by my staff and by you, the primary educators of our students. Thank you to all the staff and parents for your efforts in shaping our youth as they grow.

Parenting and teaching can sometimes feel like the most challenging jobs in the world. However, your contributions are making a difference, and I applaud you. Next time you feel overwhelmed, tired, or defeated, please remember that only dedicated teachers and parents find these roles demanding.

Once again, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you for your unwavering support. The outstanding faculty and staff at Holy Trinity Catholic School, along with your continuous support, are the pillars of our success. Your involvement in your children's education is invaluable, and we are truly grateful for it.

Blessings,

Mrs. Longden

To Jesus we go, through Mary
