Every BCHS parent is a member of the Trinity Club. This is the parent organization that has been part of BCHS for many, many years. Trinity Club serves, connects and prays. The group offers many opportunities during the year for service to the school community, staff, teachers and students.
Events are scheduled for parents to learn about "tough topics" and for parents to meet each other. There are opportunities to pray the rosary at different times of the year, both inside the school and on the lawn of the St. Benedict Center. The Trinity Club is a great way to get involved and make some new friends!
Trinity Club volunteers can be found setting up, cleaning up, host and hostessing, serving, donating and sometimes just greeting people when they walk in the doors! We are even hoping to bring back the VERY popular staff and teacher lunches! Check out the Trinity Club page for more information and to volunteer.
We look forward to seeing you at BCHS events. For more information go to the website or follow our twitter page @BCTrinity.

'Take Heart' Sophomore Retreats |
The Sophomore Retreat is called "Take Heart," inspired by the scene in Matthew's Gospel where, in the middle of a storm, Jesus comes walking on water to his disciples. He tells them, “Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid” (Matthew 14:27). All BCHS sophomores will attend a retreat within the next month.
"Take Heart" is an opportunity to take a step back from worries and distractions so that we can refocus our eyes on Christ. Like on other BCHS retreats, there will be times for faith witnesses, small group sharing, and quiet reflection. A slew of camping metaphors will help students connect their faith with tangible images. Additionally, a handful of high ropes opportunities makes the Sophomore Retreat unique from other retreats.
Sophomore Retreat takes place at Camp Allendale in Trafalgar, Indiana. The day begins at 7:30 a.m. at BCHS, and students will return to BCHS around 9 p.m. Parents/guardians will receive an electronic permission form a few weeks before their sophomore will attend retreat, as well as further information. Please click here for more information on the retreat, to view the permission form, and see the retreat rosters. Email Joel Kelley at jkelley@bishopchatard.org with any questions.
