Holy Trinity Catholic School News
Catholic School LinksFrom the Principal’s Desk - John Scimeca
Summer is in full swing at Holy Trinity Catholic School! While our students, families, and teachers are enjoying a well-earned summer break, we are still working hard to finalize the end of the school year with published report cards, year-end review sessions, evaluations, and supply checklists. We’re preparing for August, too, by planning for professional development sessions and registering new families that are visiting school and learning more about what we offer.
Do you know a prospective family with children between PreK (3 years old) and 6th grade that seeks Catholic values, individualized academic support, and a service-minded school community? Let us know!
Our current families can qualify for a tuition referral discount for registered new families whom they send our way. We are currently accepting PreK students on a wait list, with openings in Kindergarten through 6th grade.

Pastor's Weekly Message
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Thank you to everyone who assisted with or participated in our Eucharistic Procession last Sunday for the feast of Corpus Christi. It was a beautiful celebration of our faith in Christ’s real presence in the Blessed Sacrament. I would especially like to thank our Knights of Columbus and volunteers who assisted with safety and traffic control, as well as all of our altar servers who participated in the procession.
I would also like to thank everyone for their help and support of our cultural festival this weekend. This is always one of the most important and meaningful weekends of the year. Thank you!
Next weekend, June 20-21, we will be having our annual missionary cooperative appeal, as a missionary priest shares his order’s work in proclaiming the Gospel. Since he will be covering the weekend Masses, I will be taking some time off, leaving on Friday, June 19 and returning on Friday, June 26.
Please be sure to check next weekend’s bulletin for the daily Mass and Confession schedule for next week.
God bless you!
Fr. Kuchinski
