  • Religious Education Registration

    New Student Registration for Religious Education classes will begin on Sunday, July 26 and will end on September 3. A student is considered to be a “NEW” student if he/she  did not complete the 2025/2026 catechetical year, even if they attended in previous  years. - Families should be registered in the parish. 

    - Classes will begin on Sunday, September 13 and will be held from 10:15   until 11:20 AM. 

    - At least half the tuition should be paid at the time of enrollment or before  classes begin. See below for cost. 

    Tuition: The tuition is calculated as follows: 

    $60.00 per child/per year in any class preparing for a sacrament. 

    $60.00 per Student in Grades 8 and above who are preparing for Confirmation in 2027.  $30.00 for Students in Grades 3-6 who have already received First Communion. Note:  Confirmation preparation begins in the 7th Grade. 

    The total per family will not exceed $125.00. No student will be turned away due to an  inability to pay.

  • Holy Trinity Catholic School News

    Holy Trinity Catholic School is committed to inspiring our children to make an  impact on the world. We explicitly model and learn about Catholic virtues such as  kindness, gratitude, respect, and hope. We invite community partners to come visit our school, including the Horn Farm Center for Agricultural Education, the York City Police  Department and Fire Department, the York Symphony Orchestra, and the York  Engineering Society. 

     We also seek opportunities to give back to others with collection drives and to  participate in service projects with local organizations such as the Catholic Harvest Food  Pantry and the Women’s Care Center. We are also close enough to access many activities  in downtown York just minutes away from school, including field trips to the Appell  Center for the Performing Arts, the York Revolution at WellSpan Park, Junior  Achievement’s BizTown, and the York History Center.  

     We are accepting registration applications for the 2026-2027 school year! We seek to  form disciples of Jesus Christ, critical thinkers in the classroom, and people who are  ready to make an impact on the world. We begin with PreK (currently with a wait list)  and continue through 6th grade. Tuition assistance and scholarships are available. For  more information, an application packet, or to schedule a school tour, please contact us  at schooloffice@htcsyork.org or (717) 854-8263. Hablamos español.

  • Pastor's Weekly Message

    Dear Brothers and Sisters, 

    This Sunday, we begin registration for new students for our religious education program. Please be sure to follow the bulletin announcements for the registration  process, and please be sure to register your children for classes sooner rather than  later! As always, any questions can be directed to Marisa Starceski. 

    This Sunday evening we also have our 250th anniversary celebration for the founding of our country. There will be patriotic music and food. The evening starts  at 5:30. I hope to see you there!
