Holy Trinity is a faith-filled Eucharistic community committed to Christ-centered stewardship especially through education, justice, hospitality and service.

Someone once quipped, “Show me your appointment calendar and I’ll show you where your priorities are.”  It is true.  How we spend our time and our talents reveal who we are as individuals and as a parish community.  Stewardship is the faithful use of the gifts God has given us.  It is not a concept only; it is a way of life for every Christian to demonstrate their faith-filled priorities.  

As members of this parish, you are part of a grand tradition which dates back to the 1920’s when as a young priest, Father Frank Ostdiek and several Beaverdale citizens established this parish.  From its inception, the practice of good stewardship of God’s gifts has provided the springboard for so many fruitful endeavors.  Your time responding to the Holy Spirit will manifest your commitment to Christ and His Church.  This commitment is enhanced by  allowing God to work through us and with our gifts to achieve His goals for our parish.  You are invited to prayerfully consider whether there is a liturgical ministry in which you may become involved.  Refer to the below listing and if you are interested in signing up for one of these ministries - please click here - to print and complete the Liturgical Ministry Form.  You may drop off the form in the parish office or place in the Sunday collection basket.  Thank you.
