The mission of Holy Trinity Catholic Church is to be a community of disciples of Christ that, guided by the Holy Spirit, brings God's transforming love to the world.

The Context and Character of Our Mission

We live and act in communion with the universal Catholic Church and with the Church of Washington under the leadership of its Archbishop. We strive to implement the vision of the Second Vatican Council and to foster close and effective collaboration between the members of the parish community, be they lay, religious, or clergy.

Worship

Our corporate worship is the heart of the parish, the center of our life, our first school of spirituality, and the source from which our power flows. We strive for active participation by all in the celebration of the liturgy.

Spiritual Growth and Development

In addition to our corporate worship, we offer guidance in individual prayer and opportunities for spiritual retreats, following the Jesuit tradition of St. Ignatius Loyola.

Community Life

We strive to nurture a strong, open and inclusive community whose members are light and hope to one another. We reach out to the larger communities of our city and world, particularly to the members of our two sister parishes and to other faith communities.

Lifelong Education in the Faith

We provide religious education to youth and adults, exploring our faith’s response to issues of the day through respectful dialogue. The education of the young as disciples of Christ, especially through Holy Trinity School, is central to our mission.

Service

We reach out to those in need, near and far, through personal service, tithing of ordinary parish income and engagement with our sister parishes in Washington and El Salvador. We strive to stand in solidarity with the poor and to work for justice and peace.
