HAPPY EASTER! - We are blessed to wel-come all of our family, friends, and guests who are here with us to celebrate this beautiful holiday! Please call, email, or visit the parish office if there is anything we can do to pray for you, help you, or just to sit down and talk. We want to help you experience all the love and healing God wants to give you. God bless you, and Happy Easter!

CONGRATULATIONS AND WELCOME to the newest members of the Catholic Church, here at Holy Trinity! At the celebration of the Easter Vigil Mass, Sarah Kelly and Bobbi Proctor received the Sacrament of Baptism, and then were joined by Matthew Balsavage, Aileen Cranford, and Justin Enochs to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation and Holy Communion. We continue to hold them in our prayers and our hearts, and we hope that they receive from Our Lord all the blessings and joy they have been preparing for in their journey into full communion with the Catholic Church.

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION - This Saturday, April 27th at 10:00 a.m. We extend our congratulations to the children who will be receiving Holy Communion for their first time and offer our prayers that they will ever be devoted to Our Divine Savior in the Eucharist.
