The Church of the Holy Trinity, was incorporated by
Bishop John Ireland in November 1917. However, it was not
until June of 1940 that the first resident pastor, Father
J. F. Siegienski, was assigned. Holy Trinity was initially
a Polish parish and the Sacrament of Reconciliation was given
in Polish. The first mass was held on June 30, 1940. The church
building and the rectory were built by 1942 and the church
was blessed by Archbishop John Murray in 1942.
Monsignor Vincent Worzalla was named pastor
in 1951 and the new convent and school were constructed in
1954. The convent housed the Felician Sisters from Chicago,
who staffed the school until 1978. Lay teachers have staffed
the school since then. In 1985, Presentation Sisters of the
Blessed Virgin Mary joined the parish staff and remained until
2000. The convent (now known as the Parish Center) has been
remodeled and now provides office space for the school and
parish. In 1991, Holy Trinity Church celebrated its 50th Jubilee.
Holy Trinity School's religious education
program begins at an early age to teach what it means to be
a faithful Catholic Christian in contemporary society. Through
our many parish organizations and activities, Holy Trinity
School seeks to make the Gospel message a concrete reality
for all to see.
