Night of Unity
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock,” was the theme for our 7th Night of Unity this past Tuesday at Trinity. It was a wonderful evening of stories and scripture, songs and speakers celebrating the way that Jesus comes to each of us in many different ways and knocks at our hearts, inviting us to open the door and to invite Him in and to know Him. Songs such as Reckless Love with the lyrics of the overwhelming, never ending reckless love of God that always pursues us were led by Angelo Natalie, Dani Wasserman and the band. Fr. Michael Clark spoke about the parable of the Rich Young Man in the Gospel of Mark - that even as the Rich Young Man struggles to let go and follow Christ, “Jesus looked at him and loved him” (Mark 10:21). Our faith is not about checking boxes and following rules, but about loving God and loving others. Dawn Vaccaro from Humbled Coffeehouse and Charlie Caviola from Revive Church gave great talks and Jo-Ann Abbate gave a fantastic testimony on the knock of Jesus and drawing closer to Him in a challenging time. Ryan Burnham from We Want More Ministry gave a powerful testimony and then helped to lead a time of prayer in which all who attended received prayer. Thank you to all who participated in Night of Unity!

Lace Up for Pediatric Cancer
Our TCHS boys basketball program continues to make an impact on and off the court! During Monday's games against Wilton, the Crusaders wore gold shoelaces as a participant with Go4theGoal's Lace Up 4 Pediatric Cancer initiative to raise funds and awareness for kids battling cancer. In addition to purchasing the shoelaces directly from Go4theGold, donations were collected at the concession stand and in the stands among fans at each of the games. More than $600 was raised for the cause! These funds will directly benefit Connecticut kids with cancer and their families.
Go4theGoal's unwavering mission is to improve the lives of children battling cancer by providing financial support, developing and implementing unique hospital programs, funding innovative research, and granting personal wishes. Through first-hand experience with pediatric cancer and a medical background, Go4theGoal provides the best practices to patients, their families, and the hospital and staff that care for them.
The Varsity boys’ win over Wilton was mere icing on the cake. Thank you to all those who contributed — and to our players and coaches for seizing the opportunity to make a difference, on and off the court! As Coach K says, "More than a game, indeed!!!"

A Message from Jen Boulette
According to a May 2019 journal article for personalized learning, (ASCD), Jody Marberry describes five key points that teens say they need to thrive both academically and socially.
#1 Teens want explicit proof that the adults in their lives know them as individuals.
#2 Teens want easily accessible resources.
#3 Teens demand meaningful, authentic work.
#4 Teenagers crave human interaction.
#5 Teens want the opportunity to fail.
It has been my honor and privilege to get to know your child. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to see, and encourage, Trinity Catholic High School teachers foster an environment in their classroom that centers around these five points. It is my pleasure to be a part of the joy of providing a place where your child can thrive!
