to provide a high-quality education,

and to guide children in living the Catholic faith

Renew My Mind, Body and Soul

O Holy One,
I come before you today in need of your healing hand.
In you all things are possible.
Hold my heart within yours, and renew my mind, body, and soul.

I am lost, but I come to you with grace.

You gave us life, and you also give us the gift of infinite joy.
Give me the strength to move forward on the path you've laid out for me.
Guide me towards better health, and give me the wisdom to identify those you've placed
around me to help me get better.

Amen

We start our Lenten journey on Ash Wednesday, March 5th. We hear the instruction that we are to "pray, fast, and give alms (charity)." We don't do this for other people to see or notice but rather, to offer a gift to God that only He can see. Just as Jesus prayed and fasted in the desert for 40 days, we pray and fast in Lent and ask God to renew us in our Christian faith as we prepare to remember the great events of Easter. Lent helps us to put the Christian life into a biblical perspective. It's a time to practice saying "no" to ourselves in little things so we can say a bigger "yes" to God in the bigger decisions of life. Check out the various events we offer during Lent, both at school and church, to help us in this graced time of preparation.

I am thankful for our professional staff who work toward educational goals, planning around all the interruptions. I am grateful for the awareness, vigilance, and cooperation of the parents.

I am very proud of our school community and thank GOD every day for the blessings that He has given this year to Holy Trinity.

We are now at the time of the year where we need to think ahead to next fall. We are setting in place our classes and staffing and moving forward. It is critical that we keep our programs going strong, our enrollment up, and stay positive. I ask you to continue to support our school and to help us in the best ways that you can. We appreciate you!

Blessings,

Mrs. Longden

To Jesus we go, through Mary

Mrs. DeTrana had a baby boy on Monday, February 24th.

With that being said, we are looking for someone to help in the office.

If you are interested in learning more, please reach out to Mrs. Longden at principal@htschool.net.

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.

Come visit the Easter Bunny and enjoy pancakes!

*Please call the office in the morning if your child(ren) will be out of school. We do not always get to the emails in the morning and it is nice to have a phone call.

*If you send an email and you do not get a reply from the office, please be sure to call and confirm we have received your message.

*If your child has a fever today, they should not be at school tomorrow.

*If you have to give your child Tylenol or Ibuprofen in the morning to help them get through the day, they should not be at school.

*If your child is vomiting they should not be sent to school.

*Please do not send your sick, still recovering from illness, feverish kid to school to infect the healthy students and staff.
