Attending Mass is a sacred and transformative opportunity to engage in worship, reflection, and fellowship. At Holy Trinity Catholic Church, we warmly welcome everyone to join our liturgical celebrations, which are central to our spiritual community.
As a place of faith and connection, we strive to offer a schedule that accommodates the needs of all parishioners, ensuring that each person can deepen their relationship with God and experience the richness of our Catholic tradition.
Weekly Mass Schedule
Our weekly Mass schedule is designed to accommodate the diverse needs of our congregation, ensuring that all have access to the Eucharist and a space for prayer. Below is a detailed breakdown of our regular Mass times:
Weekdays: Start your day with the grace and peace of the Eucharist by attending our weekday Masses, held at 7:00 AM from Monday to Friday. These intimate gatherings provide a serene atmosphere for reflection and spiritual renewal before the day’s activities.
Each weekday service includes thoughtful readings from Scripture, a brief homily by our priest, and opportunities for quiet prayer and meditation. These moments of tranquility offer a spiritual grounding that can guide and sustain you throughout the day.
For early risers, coffee and fellowship are available after the service at the parish hall, fostering a sense of community and connection among attendees.
Saturdays: On Saturdays, we celebrate a morning Mass at 8:00 AM, providing a peaceful and reflective start to the weekend. This Mass often includes readings and prayers that set a contemplative tone for the day. Following the morning Mass, the Vigil Mass at 5:00 PM serves as an evening liturgy that fulfills the Sunday obligation.
The Vigil Mass is particularly popular for those who prefer to attend a quieter and less crowded service. This celebration often features an engaging homily, beautiful hymns, and a warm sense of community, making it a cherished time for worshippers to prepare their hearts for Sunday’s sacred observances.
Sundays: Sunday is the cornerstone of our worship week, reflecting the centrality of the Eucharist in Catholic life. Our Sunday Mass schedule offers three distinct opportunities for worship to suit varying preferences and needs:
- 7:30 AM: Designed for early risers seeking a serene and contemplative atmosphere, this Mass is characterized by its quiet simplicity, providing a peaceful start to the Lord’s Day. Many find this time ideal for personal prayer and reflection in a less crowded setting.
- 9:00 AM: Perfect for families, this Mass features a warm and inclusive atmosphere. It often includes a Children’s Liturgy of the Word, where younger attendees can engage with the Gospel in an age-appropriate way. The homilies at this service are particularly family-focused, fostering a sense of connection for all generations.
- 11:00 AM: A vibrant and traditional celebration that showcases the rich musical heritage of the Church. Accompanied by our talented choir, this Mass is a favorite for those who appreciate solemn hymns and a more formal liturgical experience. The service often includes incense and traditional prayers, enriching the spiritual ambiance.
Whether you are seeking quiet meditation, family connection, or uplifting music, our Sunday services offer a meaningful way to honor the Sabbath and deepen your faith.
Please note that our schedule may vary during special liturgical seasons or holidays. We encourage you to check our announcements for updates.
Special Masses and Services
Holy Trinity Catholic Church takes pride in offering a variety of special services tailored to the unique needs of our diverse congregation. These services are designed not only to provide additional opportunities for spiritual enrichment but also to foster a deep sense of fellowship and inclusivity within the community.
Whether you are attending a Mass designed for the Deaf, celebrating a Holy Day of Obligation, or joining us for the joyous seasonal liturgies, our special services aim to create meaningful and memorable spiritual experiences for all attendees. Through careful planning and dedication, these Masses emphasize the values of faith, unity, and accessibility, ensuring that every individual feels welcome and valued as part of our parish family.
Mass for the Deaf
To ensure that everyone in our community feels included and valued, we offer a dedicated Mass for the Deaf on the second Sunday of every month at 1:00 PM. This service is specifically designed to accommodate the spiritual needs of Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals by providing sign language interpretation throughout the liturgy. In addition to that, visual aids and printed resources are made available to enhance participation and understanding.
The Mass is celebrated in an environment that prioritizes accessibility, with reserved seating close to the interpreter and clear visibility of the altar. By fostering an inclusive atmosphere, this special service underscores our commitment to ensuring that all members of our community can actively participate in the celebration of the Eucharist and feel deeply connected to the parish family.
Holy Day of Obligation Masses
Holy Days of Obligation hold profound significance in the Catholic faith, commemorating pivotal events in the life of Christ, the Virgin Mary, and the saints. These sacred days include celebrations such as Christmas, the Feast of the Assumption, All Saints’ Day, and the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, among others. At Holy Trinity, we honor these holy days with special Mass schedules to ensure that all parishioners can fulfill their obligations and participate in these sacred celebrations.
Our services on Holy Days of Obligation often include a Vigil Mass on the evening before the feast, as well as morning and evening Masses on the day itself to accommodate varying schedules. These liturgies feature readings and prayers that highlight the unique themes of each holy day, accompanied by music that reflects their solemn and joyous nature. Parishioners are encouraged to refer to our bulletin, website, and social media channels for detailed schedules and updates to ensure they can plan ahead to attend these important services.
Seasonal Masses
Our seasonal celebrations, such as Christmas and Easter, are cherished moments that embody the joy, hope, and reverence of our Catholic faith. The Christmas Eve Mass at 10:00 PM is a particularly beloved tradition, featuring a candlelit service that highlights the story of Christ’s birth with carols, a solemn procession, and beautiful nativity displays. On Christmas Day, the celebration continues with Masses that emphasize the significance of God’s gift of love and salvation.
Easter Sunday Masses at 7:30 AM, 9:00 AM, and 11:00 AM commemorate the resurrection of Christ with profound joy and hope. These services often include the Renewal of Baptismal Promises, jubilant hymns, and floral arrangements that symbolize new life. The Easter Vigil Mass, held on Holy Saturday evening, is particularly moving, as it begins in darkness and transitions to light, representing Christ’s triumph over death.
These liturgies often feature special musical arrangements performed by our choir and instrumentalists, scripture readings that reflect the season’s significance, and ornate decorations that transform the church into a space of awe and reverence. Seasonal celebrations at Holy Trinity are not only spiritual milestones but also opportunities to come together as a parish family and celebrate the heart of our faith.
