Faith and Family
For many years, parents have referred to Holy Trinity School as a family. That is revealing and conveys so much. It suggests a sense of belonging, mutual love, commitment, interdependence, challenge, and growth. Holy Trinity School is as the Church has been described, a family of families.
The ultimate model for the family is the Holy Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The revelation that God is not a solitary being has tremendous implications for our understanding of family life. Marriage and the family reflect the Holy Trinity as a life-giving communion of love.
Rather than think primarily in terms of preparing individual students for success, however broadly defined, we think of ourselves as ministering to families, helping parents to fulfill the mission God has entrusted to them.
We encourage and support our families to practice principles that lead to flourishing in the grace of Christ.
To ensure that all members of the Holy Trinity family have encountered the power of the Gospel, we provide the Good Life mini-retreat to staff and parents, and they are expected to experience the retreat soon after starting at Holy Trinity.
Students participate in Mass at least once per week and pray throughout the day. Confession is conveniently available to school families on weekdays. Students end their day with the Examen prayer.
Holy Trinity School seeks to form families in virtue. The students learn about and interiorize the theological virtues of faith, hope and charity, and the cardinal virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. The school promotes the virtues of chastity and modesty. The faculty model the virtues through their own conduct.
