Blessed Trinity Roman Catholic Parish
Blessed Trinity Church is a dynamic and vibrant parish that is striving to further cultivate and deepen the spiritual lives of its parishioners. Blessed Trinity Parish continues to triumph. Its vitality is reflected in its parishioners and their involvement and the full support that they give to the church and our priests. One of the concrete signs of our faith is the daily attendance at Mass at our church, which is the largest in the Archdiocese.
The students of St. Agnes attend Blessed Trinity on a weekly basis with their families. The majority of school masses take place within the parish, rather than the Priest coming to the school. The staff and students of St. Agnes will walk to the church to attend special masses such as Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas masses.
