Family Trips
It is imperative, if your family is planning to be away on school days for a family trip, that you notify the attendance office IN ADVANCE. The
Student/Parent Handbook
states that a note should be sent in to the attendance office one week prior to the planned trip. Without that notice coming to the school and no phone call from you, your child's absences will be considered unexcused.
10th Period Study Hall
We are happy to continue this year to offer "10th Period Study Hall" to students from 2:50 to 3:30 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. This is a dedicated classroom each day staffed by a Trinity faculty member. Students sign in and may ask for help with homework, or just sit quietly to get homework completed. If your child is waiting after school to be picked up or for a practice to begin, encourage your child to try 10th period study hall. The schedule is as follows:
- Mondays--Room 107 with Mrs. Reider
- Tuesdays--Room 210 with Mrs. Stager
- Thursdays--Room 104 with Mrs. Rose
2019 Yearbook
The staff is already hard at work on this year's yearbook.

Gospel for Sunday, September 16, 2018 – 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Jesus and his disciples set out for the villages of Caesarea Philippi. Along the way he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that I am?" They said in reply, "John the Baptist, others Elijah,
still others one of the prophets." And he asked them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter said to him in reply, "You are the Christ." Then he warned them not to tell anyone about him. He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and rise after three days. He spoke this openly. Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. At this he turned around and, looking at his disciples, rebuked Peter and said, "Get behind me, Satan. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do."He summoned the crowd with his disciples and said to them, "Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel will save it." --Mark 8:27-35

Reflection
“Who do you say that I am?” Jesus' question is not meant just for the people of his time. It is meant for every person of every culture and in every time. People answer this question differently, trying to put Jesus and God into a box that is comfortable for their own existence. But Peter provides the true answer, “You are the Christ.” This statement is filled with the knowledge that Jesus has come to do the will of God the Father, to save humanity, and to bring us back into perfect relationship with God the Father. God does not only want a relationship with humanity at large, but with each of us as individuals. We only have to recognize Him in our lives. Last week we heard the command, “Be opened.” After being opened, the next logical step is to answer the question “Who do you say that I am?”

Saint of the Week--Saint Robert Bellarmine, September 17
Saint Robert Bellarmine was ordained in 1570 during a period when the study of theology was in a weakened state. He dedicated his time and energy to the study of Church history, the Fathers of the Church, and to Scripture, and he organized Church teaching to face the attacks of the Protestant Reformers.

Prayer for the Week
Look upon us, O God, Creator and ruler of all things, and, that we may feel the working of Your mercy, grant that we may serve You with all our heart. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
