Dear Anthony and Sheila:

Congratulations to both of you and the other dedicated volunteers who did so much behind the scenes for the 90th Anniversary celebration of the establishment of Holy Trinity Catholic School. I thank you for the many hours in front of computer screens and arranging the Community Life Center for the celebrations. The presence of so many Daughters of Charity and lay teachers was an added treat.

On behalf of the members of Holy Trinity Parish, the staff, students and parents of Holy Trinity Catholic School, and the hundreds of alumni and alumnae who were present, I salute you on a job well done. Countless visitors approached me to thank me for all that took place. I quickly assured
them that the leadership team and core active members of the Friends of Holy Trinity School were the folks to be thanked. -
In the coming months I believe we can begin to build a more permanent base for the organization and to develop an annual calendar of events. Early planning will be important.

All of us are bombarded by appeals from our alma maters, our favorite charities, and our own family members. All of these projects are worthwhile. However, here in Dallas there are hundreds of deserving young Catholic elementary school students who are in our local public schools. These Catholic students could gain much from a Catholic education now and in the future. In order to attend Holy Trinity Catholic School there parents can pay a portion of the actual cost of education.

The remaining expense will have to come in the form of scholarships and tuition assistance. This is an area where the network of Friends of Holy Trinity Catholic School can make a great difference.
Feel free to call on me and the members of the parish and school staff to be of assistance in the future. Be assured of a place in my prayers and masses for our benefactors,

Sincerely Yours,

(Rev.) John P. Cawley, C.M. Pastor
