Other ways to support TRINITY CATHOLIC SCHOOLS
As a school, our everyday responsibility is to give our students the academic foundation they need to prepare them for a future career path
so that they can be a positive contributor in Christ’s world. At a Catholic school, however, we tie that responsibility with the responsibility we
have of partnering with parents to teach and hand on the Catholic faith. We tie the need for an academic foundation in this life, with the
need for a spiritual foundation – a relationship with God – that will carry us through this life and into eternal life.
To carry out this tremendous responsibility and to faithfully execute our mission, we count on the support of our alumni and benefactors; our
current parents and parishioners; and our friends. Here are just a few ways you can support Trinity Catholic Schools – mind, body and soul:
