Hello! My name is Brenna Peters, I am the new Faith Formation Coordinator for Holy Trinity Parish. I grew up in Manson and graduated from MNW in 2016. This past spring I graduated from Benedictine College with my degree in Sociology. I’m very excited to be back around here working within this parish community and I can’t wait to witness all the amazing things that our Lord will bring about!

We are looking for skilled individuals who can help refinish various liturgical items and tables from our former worship sites that we would like utilized in our new church. We’ll provide the stain and varnish and can drop off and pick the items from people's homes. If you or someone you know is interested in helping restore some of these items please contact Hiedi Touney at [email protected] or via phone at 515-955-6077 ext 2036

Dear Faith Formation Families, Sadly I write you today to inform you that we, priests and myself, have determined it most prudent, given the spread of COVID-19, to move Faith Formation all to an “At Home” model.   How long will we be in this model?  We plan to continue with “At Home” through December, at which time we will re-evaluate the public health information and determine whether we will return in January to  “In Person” or not.
