175th Anniversary
-
The 175th anniversary of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis provides us with an ideal opportunity for counting our blessings. When Bishop Joseph Cretin was named the first bishop of St. Paul on July 23, 1850, who could have anticipated the vitality of the parishes, schools, ministries, and Catholic insti-tutions that today constitute the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis? The Lord has indeed blessed us in abundance, and I feel privileged to be able to serve as your shepherd at this historic time.
Please know of my prayers for you and your loved ones throughout this Jubilee Year. I ask in re-turn for your prayers for the Archdiocese. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, may we continue to spread the good news of Jesus and build upon the strong foun-dation that has been our legacy these past 175 years.
Sincerely in Christ,
+Bernard A. Hebda
Archbishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis

Holy Trinity Parish Annual Financial Report 2023-2024
2023-24
Thank you for your generous support! Copies of the annual report at church entrances this weekend. Summary: each church met their budgetary goal, although we are short a parish maintenance/custodial part time person, and have no money set aside for deferred maintenance. In August we replaced the main roof at St. Mary and tarred a small roof section at Holy Trinity, but these are not included in this report because the new financial year began in July. However, the $16,000.00 flat roof repair at St. Mary is included. St. Mary's financial outlook is good because the investment income from the Beulah Wahlin Estate offset this repair. This generous estate gift also paid for the $70,000.00 roof replacement at St. Mary, which will be on the next annual report. The interior repairs at St. Mary because of past water damage will cost approximately $38,000.00, but Catholic Mutual Group through the Archdiocese will pick up that bill, except for a $2,000.00 deductible. Please consider gifting Holy Trinity Parish in your estate planning. Thank you and God bless you!
