First Communion Weekend
This weekend, we celebrate the Fist Holy Communion for many of our children. This is a precious time for our children, though their grasp of it is very simple. Do you remember your First Holy Communion? I do. I was nervous. I didn't want to do anything wrong. In time, it became something rote. I knew that it was Jesus' presence, but I didn't have a great appreciation of it. In time and through prayer, I have found a greater love for this precious Sacrament of God's love for us. It is a profound way, among many, to remind us that Jesus is with us and in us.
Welcome Mr. Moshinsky
Praise God! It is with great joy and gratitude that I announce the hiring of our new Principal, Mr. Peter Moshinsky, who will be joining Holy Trinity Catholic School for our coming 2026/7 school year.
Mr. Moshinsky brings with him a wealth of experience in public education, having served for over 15 years in school leadership, administration, and counseling. Most recently, he has been serving as Director of Human Resources for the St. Helens School District, where he has overseen recruitment, staffing, and organizational development.
Praise be to our Lord Jesus Christ, who is risen from the dead! Happy Easter!
Today we celebrate the glorious fruit of God’s saving work—His desire to restore us to the Father. It is a day to rejoice in all that God has done and continues to do in our lives.
Before the Resurrection, however, Jesus endured suffering and a humiliating death on the Cross. By His example, we too are called to take up our crosses and follow Him. When we do, we begin to experience “little resurrections” in our own lives
The Church, Immigration, and ICE
I have had some dialogues recently with parishioners who want to learn more about the issues surrounding Immigration and the Church’s response locally and beyond. The actions of the deployment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have also caused great distress for many of us. So, here are some helpful links which include thoughts by Pope Leo, Archbishop Sample, myself, Dcn. Brett, as well as biblical sources and things one can do.
With Gratitude!
I want to share with you an important update regarding the leadership of our school.
Two and a half years ago, Dr. Anne Erwin graciously came out of retirement to serve as our principal during a critical time in our school’s life. She accepted this role with a clear purpose: to stabilize, strengthen, and lift up our school community. I can say without hesitation that she has done exactly that — and done it exceptionally well.

2026 Brings Change
Happy New Year to you all! As with every new year, 2026 will bring change into our lives. Some changes are welcome, some are neutral, and others can be quite challenging. It is often the difficult news that tests us most deeply. How we respond to those moments becomes part of our journey of faith.
Acknowledge Your Sins and Be Reconciled
Blessed 2nd Sunday in Advent! This coming Saturday at 10:00 AM (Dec. 13, 2025), we will celebrate our annual Advent Reconciliation Service. In preparation, I offer you a reflection guide that you can bring to prayer—and even take with you to the service itself.

Updates!
Three years ago, during my initial “listening sessions” here at Holy Trinity, two common requests came up: a new parish directory and a larger Fireside Room. I’d like to give you a quick update on these, along with news about the Walker Rd. expansion…
