Parents of Juniors: Medical Information

Pennsylvania State Law requires all students to have a second dose of the meningococcal vaccine prior to entry into 12th Grade (one dose was required for 7th grade, and the 2nd dose is required for 12th grade). Please review your student's immunization records and have your primary care provider take appropriate action. Please send a copy of your student's updated immunization record to the Main Office, Attn: "School Nurse" or you may also email it to thsnurse@thsrocks.us.

Named Scholarships

Each year, Trinity welcomes more than 150 new students. We prepare each of these unique students academically, socially, and spiritually, and we believe that ability to pay tuition should not be a barrier to a Catholic education. We hope that you will consider contributing to our Named Scholarship Fund. Below, you can find more information on this important scholarship fund. You can find the commitment form here. Please reach out to Mr. Cominsky with questions.

• An individual, company, or organization may establish a Named Scholarship with a designated annual contribution of at least $500.
• Donors may choose to name the scholarship (e.g., to honor others in any way).
• Named Scholarships are typically awarded to students who have demonstrated financial need through the Diocese of Harrisburg and Trinity High School's STS Grant and Aid application process. The names of recipients are confidential.
• The Named Scholarship commitment is for one academic year. Renewal letters are mailed annually in the spring.

Seventh Sunday of Easter, John 17:11b-19

Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed saying: "Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one. When I was with them I protected them in your name that you gave me, and I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of destruction, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you. I speak this in the world so that they may share my joy completely. I gave them your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from the evil one. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world. And I consecrate myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth."

Mike Tilley Foundation Golf Tournament

All are invited to join the Mike Tilley Nation for their 1st Annual Foundation Golf Tournament to be held on August 23, 2024, at Overlook Golf Course in Lancaster. Registration for the tournament is open now--click here. Tickets include a luncheon prior to the shotgun start and a happy hour gathering afterwards with the presentation of awards.

About the Foundation: In 2021 at the age of 30, Michael Tilley '09 was diagnosed with Stage IV early adult onset colorectal cancer. He created our foundation with the hopes of educating young adults about the symptoms and treatment of this horrible disease. What was once considered an "old person's disease" is no longer the case. In fact, adults born after 1990 are two times more likely to develop colon cancer than someone born in 1950. After Michael passed away in August 2022, it became the Tilley family's mission to continue his work and legacy. Our 501(c)(3) foundation provides FIT tests (fecal immunochemical tests) for free on our website.

Items for consideration in Trinity Weekly should be sent to communications@thsrocks.us by noon each Wednesday. Please write a blurb and include any relevant information, including links or images. Trinity reserves the right to edit all submissions.
