Catechism for Baptized Catholic Children from Kindergarten through 5th grade – tuition $50.00
Holy Trinity Parish reinforces and complements what the children learn at home about their Faith. We prepare them to receive the Sacraments and continue to challenge them to grow in love of God and of neighbor. To be eligible to receive 1st Communion children must attend at least 2 years of RE.
Just returned from a two week vacation to France and Spain that included a five day pilgrimage to Lourdes, France site of St. Bernadette’s 18 Marian apparitions in 1858. I was unable to find anyone to maintain the website in my absence and a major laptop malfunction en route to Europe thwarted me from making remote updates as planned. Your regularly scheduled weekly website updates resume shortly. First, I will put up the articles from the last two bulletins.
I have come to know and respect the Rocky Mountain Children’s Law Center through one our parishioners, who is its Founder and Executive Director. Last month, the staff of Holy Trinity and I went to their annual fundraising banquet and during the evening we learned more about the work of the Center on behalf of abused, abandoned and neglected children. We heard some of the life stories of these children, and I don‟t believe there was a dry eye in the house; for instance, Wendy: “Wendy ran away from very abusive parents when she was only 11 year old. Life on the streets, begging for food and sleeping in abandoned buildings, was preferable to a life of violence and fear. When police picked her up, the Children’s Law Center helped find a loving permanent foster home for her. The Center helped Wendy and her foster family adjust to each other, and now, years later, Wendy not only found a loving home, but graduated from high school and is now attending the University of Colorado.”
We give thanks to God that you are our new priest! May God bless you.

My dad was not exciting. He left every morning, at the same time, and came home every evening, at the same time. Every Saturday he came to Confession with us, and every Sunday he came to Mass with us. I still have my report cards from school: he signed every one of them. Yes, he was definitely boring.
Father Lorenzo has been with us only a short time, but we already love him as a father, and it is hard to see him go. We wish that we could hold on to him, but it is not possible; when he was ordained a priest, he vowed obedience to Christ, in the person of the Archbishop, and it is the Archbishop who is now sending him to do evangelization work with the Neocatechumenal Way, so we say, along with Father Lorenzo: “Your will be done, Lord Jesus. You have plans for our priest, you have new places for him to go in Your service.”
Please put your Father’s Day offering envelope in the collection basket or drop it by the parish office by Friday, June 19th so we can place it on the altar. On Father’s Day your father will be remembered at all our parish Masses. We have also printed up beautiful Father’s Day Spiritual Bouquet cards that you can send to your father, just drop by the office to purchase them.

The other day I received a package from my sister. Among her gifts was a small, well used book. Engraved on the dark green, hardbound cover is a beautiful portrait of the Virgin Mary, standing on the moon with her feet crushing the head of the serpent. Translated into English, the title is The Pious Girl. On the flyleaf, Vigano’ Purissima di Nibionno is handwritten in old-fashioned writing. The book, dated 1863, was obviously well loved. Purissima was my father’s grandmother. I never met her, but I know her through my father’s memories.
