BLESSED TRINITY MISSION STATEMENT Washed by the waters of the sea and blessed with generations of faithful worship we, a trinity of churches:

Saint Edmund, Saint Genevieve and Saint Thomas More, stand united in our mission. To embrace the presence of Christ in our community and strive to assist all to deepen their relationship with the Lord. To

seek to be a parish of service and comfort to all. To commit ourselves to be a vessel through which our Catholic heritage and traditions may be preserved and grow so that our parish may flourish in the Spirit of

the Lord.

BLESSED TRINITY RELIGIOUS EDUCATION SCHOOL REGARDING OUR CHILDREN AND FIRST SACRAMENTS:

First Holy Communion (for the 2020 class) will be celebrated Saturday, September 26, 2020 at 11am in St. Thomas More Church. Immediate family will be in attendance and others can participate through the Live Stream. Confirmation scheduled for December 2020 for the incoming 8th grade Confirmation Class has been moved to April 2021 where the confirmation class is now required to attend a full year of instruction prior to receiving the sacrament.
