Trinity News & Information
Tuition Payments & Financial Aid
Financial awards are not yet reflected in the payment plans. All the applications are now processed by FACTS Management and are then sent to the Diocese of Harrisburg for review. The Diocese will review the applications, and financial aid will be determined by mid- to late-June. In July, award notices are sent out to families, and awards are applied to subsequent tuition payments beginning in August. 

Tuition payments will begin on June 15. Families requesting an adjustment to their June and July payments are asked to call the school's Business Office at (717) 761-1116 by June 1 to make these arrangements.

Senior Parents
Caps, gowns, and six graduation tickets were distributed yesterday to all seniors who do not have any debts. Please be sure to ask specifically for the tickets, as all who wish to attend graduation must present a ticket, and we cannot replace lost/misplaced tickets.  

Students with outstanding debts did not receive these items, and the items will be held until all debts are cleared. If you have questions about debts, you may contact the Business Office directly.

Engraved Brick Walkway

Spiritual Life
The Gospel for Sunday, May 19, 2019–5th Sunday of Easter
When Judas had left them, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and God will glorify him at once.
My children, I will be with you only a little while longer. I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." --John 13:31-35

Reflection
Love one another. We will be known as His disciples by how we love one another. This is a call
to live our daily lives always seeking the best for the other. In our world today, many seek to protect their self-interests, even at the cost of doing what is right or of properly ordered relationships. We know that the opposite of love is hate. To hate is to devalue another person. Saint Pope John Paul II, in his Theology of the Body, teaches us that the opposite of love is use. When we use others, we strip them of all human dignity because we see them as objects for our own pleasure or gain. Jesus calls us in today’s Gospel to love one another. This means that even when we disagree, we respect others and their human dignity. As we journey through this week, may we seek to love each person we encounter.
Saint of the Week--Saint Bede the Venerable, May 25

Saint Bede the Venerable almost never left his monastery once he became a monk, but he influenced the entire Church of his day. One of the most well-rounded scholars, he wrote and taught in all areas of knowledge. Bede's writings were read in church even before his death.

Prayer for the Week--Prayer for Vocation
O God, Who wish all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of Your truth: send, we beg You, laborers into Your harvest, and grant them grace to speak Your word with all boldness; so that Your word may spread and be glorified, and all nations may know You, the only God, and Him Whom You have sent, Jesus Christ Your Son, Our Lord, Who lives and reigns world without end. Amen.
