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.

Trinity High School’s Quiz Bowl team traveled to Atlanta, Georgia, to compete in the NAQT National Championship Tournament. They were one of 336 teams who qualified for this prestigious tournament. Our team qualified by winning the Capital Area Quiz Bowl League this past winter. After some great matches (including a sudden-death overtime victory), the team finished with a respectable 5-5 record. The team was selected for a 32-team Consolation Bracket and finished in 2nd place with a 4-1 record, defeating teams from Louisiana, Missouri, and South Carolina before losing to a team from Oklahoma.
Trinity was ably represented by
Luke Capper '20 (Immaculata House),
Aaron Cartwright '21 (Seton House),
Connor Coyle '20 (Seton House), and
Michael Staiger '20 (Immaculata House). Out of the 1600 students competing, Luke ranked in the top 10% for points per game, while Connor ranked in the top 25%. With the whole team back next year, we are hoping for another great season.

The Gospel for Sunday, June 2, 2019–7th Sunday of Easter
Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed saying: "Holy Father, I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me.
And I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to perfection as one, that the world may know that you sent me, and that you loved them even as you loved me. Father, they are your gift to me. I wish that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see my glory that you gave me, because you loved me before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father, the world also does not know you, but I know you, and they know that you sent me. I made known to them your name and I will make it known, that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in them."
--John 17:20-26

Reflection
The Gospel for today stresses the importance of unity. Jesus prays that his disciples may become
united to Him in the same way that the He and the Father are united. United with Christ, we must
be united with our brothers and sisters and treat all that we encounter with love and respect. If
we all live this call, we change the world.

Saint of the Week--Saint Norbert, June 6.
Saint Norbert founded the order with the most difficult name to pronounce and spell—Praemonstratensians. Perhaps that’s why they go by the name of Norbertines. But this order was anything but hard to appreciate when it came to the work they did. They were very effective in converting heretics and reconciling enemies.

Prayer for the Week--A Summer Blessing
May you walk with God this summer in whatever you do, wherever you go. Walking with God means...walking with honesty and with courage, and walking with love, respect, and concern for the feelings of others.
May you talk to God this summer and every day and in every situation. Talking with God means...praying words of praise for the beauty of creation, saying prayers of thanks for friends and good times, asking God's help in all your decisions, expressing sorrow when you have failed.
May you talk with God every day. Amen.
