Our Mission

The mission of Blessed Trinity School is to foster Christian leadership by witnessing the Gospel message and embracing the stewardship way of life. We strive for moral and academic excellence as we reach out to the community as Christ's disciples.

Stewardship, Our Way of Life

 

The core of our Catholic identity at Blessed Trinity Church and School is Stewardship. As a stewardship community, we show our faith, love and appreciation for God, and the many blessings he has bestowed upon us, by giving back to others. We give to God not only our treasure, but our time and talent as well. By living a stewardship way of life, we are each examplesof the presence of God in our daily lives

 

 Stewardship has been a way of life in our parish for well over 15 years. Students at Blessed Trinity School, as well as members of the Church, are encouraged to put God first in their lives by sharing theirtime, talent, and treasure to serve God on a daily basis. All members of the parish community are encouraged to give of their time to God through many means. Our students use their time and talent by getting involved in the Mass through becoming altar servers, sacristans, readers, choir members, ushers and cantors.

 

We recognize our talents as gifts from God and actively look for ways to use them to serve God. Students have many opportunities to display their talents and put them to good use for the community. During Grandparents' Day, art shows, music classes, our newly formed band, and the yearly school play, students use their talents to entertain and enliven the community. Our students also demonstrate their athletic skills, dedication, diligence, teamwork, and good sportsmanship through extra-curricular activities such as volleyball, cheerleading, basketball, soccer, and flag football. Through Peacemaking Peers, a group that promotes conflict resolution and peaceful relationships in our school, students can further demonstrate their talents, while student leaders in our school are active in Student Council and the National Junior Honor Society.

 

 

Lastly, students, staff, and members of the parish are brought together as a community when we share our treasure with those in need. Our fundraisers include school dances, collections in the classroom, candy grams, the fall carnival, and the walk-a-thon. In recent years, monies raised through these means have benefited the homeless and impoverished,

 victims of natural disasters such as hurricanes and tsunamis, and mission parish in Uganda. Students are also asked to make an offering during weekly school Masses. Student weekly envelope offerings include prayers, money or simply a pledge to be more helpful around the house. Through all of these methods and many more, students come to see that stewardship is more than just a donation on Sunday, it is a way of life.

 

STEWARDSHIP EDUCATION

 

The religion curriculum is supplemented with the series, Planting the Seeds of Stewardship. The stewardship lessons are taught during November with the final project being the commitment brochures, to be turned in at the Student Stewardship Mass. Listed within this brochure are ways that students can commit to using their time, talent and treasure for their home, school and community. This occurs on the Friday before Commitment Sunday for the parish.
