LEARNING MODEL FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL GRADE 3

In light of the ongoing pandemic, Holy Trinity Parish will adopt an online model of learning for Elementary School Grade 3 during the 2020-2021 school year. Classes will meet online two times a month on Sundays at 9:15 AM. In addition, regularly attending Sunday Mass and receiving the Eucharist is an important part of faith formation and the practice of the faith. All Sundays are obligatory for the faithful to participate in the Mass. The weekend schedule of Masses at Holy Trinity Parish is as follows:

Most Blessed Sacrament Church: Saturday 4:30 PM and Sunday 8:30 AM
Our Lady of Good Counsel Church: Saturday 6:00 PM and Sunday 10:30 AM

All Masses are live-streamed and recordings stored at the HTP Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/holytrinityquincy/)
