When Faith Crosses Boundaries

Great Is Your Faith: Crossing Every Boundary

Blessed Trinity Catholic Church gathers this week as a vibrant, multicultural community centered in Jesus Christ and nurtured by the Eucharist. Served by the Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette, we are called this Sunday to let the Canaanite woman's fearless faith inspire our own. As we begin a new season of Faith Formation, ministry engagement, and La Salette anniversary celebration, we press forward together — belonging, believing, and becoming.
