RETREATS
Every year each student has the opportunity to participate in a grade-level retreat. Freshman, sophomore and junior year are one-day retreats that occur during a scheduled day of classes while the senior retreat is an overnight experience which takes place over the course of two full school days. In keeping with the faith philosophy that our students should be "met where they are at," each retreat focuses around a theme and a scripture passage relevant for each grade level.
L.I.G.H.T.s
As upperclassmen (juniors and seniors), Holy Trinity students have the opportunity to apply for a leadership and retreat team called the L.I.G.H.T.s. This is an acronym which stands for Living In God Holy/Wholly Together. The name also invokes the call and responsibility to be the Light of Christ to all they meet. Aside from being leaders and role models of faith in our school community, LIGHTs also serve as the underclassmen retreat facilitators as well as mentors in Freshmen and Sophomore homerooms once a month.
VIRTUES OF THE MONTH
Each month the Holy Trinity community focuses on cultivating a specific virtue. This program was derived from St. Thomas Aquinas and the Aristotelian ethical concept of cultivating virtue based on formation and repetition of good habits. During Morning Prayer students are reminded of the virtue of the month and given examples of how to put the virtue into practice in their daily lives. Each month a student and faculty/staff member receives a "Virtue of the Month Award." The student, faculty/staff members are nominated by Holy Trinity community members who have witnessed the virtue at work in the lives of the nominees. Each month's virtue is chosen based on the liturgical and school calendar in order to maintain relevance to the atmosphere in the school community.
