At Blessed Trinity students have the opportunity to live out their Catholic faith through involvement in social justice projects and awareness campaigns which affect the local and global community. Before Thanksgiving and Easter, Blessed Trinity holds a food drive to help local agencies to provide for the needy in the community. Each Fall Blessed Trinity organizes a Pilgrimage walk to support the community of Las Pajas in the Dominican Republic and holds other smaller fund raiser for Las Pajas throughout the year. At Christmas time the staff and students of Blessed Trinity collect food items and gifts for Christmas hampers. These hampers are then given to needy families in the community through local agencies.

Social Justice

At Blessed Trinity students have the opportunity to live out their Catholic faith through involvement in social justice projects, and awareness campaigns. Rooted in Catholic Social Teaching as well as the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy, these actions support local, national and international initiatives. These include our annual Pilgrimage, Advent and Lenten Food Drives,Truth and Reconciliation Week Activities and celebrating Black History Month to name a few. The Blessed Trinity Social Justice League (SJL) is central in coordinating these activities. Made up of both students and staff, the SJL provides opportunity for all students to become collaborative contributors by respecting and affirming the diversity and interdependence of the world's peoples and cultures. The SJL is an open space for students to speak about Equity, Inclusivity and Human Rights, and to propose ways to make change through education and action.
