Homeschool at Holy Trinity
Holy Trinity Homeschoolers (HTH) exists to support Catholic families who provide their children's primary education at home. Homeschooling is a thoroughly Catholic educational option, as noted by Pope Paul VI back in 1965! "Since parents have conferred life on their children they have a most solemn obligation to educate their offspring. Hence, parents must be acknowledged as the first and foremost educators of their children. Their role as educators is so decisive that scarcely anything can compensate for their failure in it." (Gravissimum Educationis #3)
Holy Trinity Homeschoolers will be offering Academic classes for the 2011-12 school year. The classes are for 6th grade and up and will be held on Mondays at the church building from 10:00-3:00pm. There are 16 courses offered this year. Please follow the directions below to register your child for the courses.

For 2010-2011 HTH had 120 families and 450+ kids of all ages. HTH is a collection of families who offer their talents to each other in order to create a nurturing Catholic culture for our families and Holy Trinity Parish. We offer monthly Domestic Church events, clubs, field trips, academic events for kids, socials for moms, guest speakers, and Academic Classes.
We host a welcome to HTH event in the summer and another in the fall to welcome new families. We offer homeschool support and soon will have an FAQ page on the web site including commonly asked questions about homeschooling across the ages and homeschool resources.
We communicate through our e-mail distribution list, our Yahoo group, and our monthly newsletter. Once you are registered, you will be on our e-mail list and receive an invitation to join our Yahoo group. Please mail your HTH Registration form, Code of Conduct, and $30 dues to Diana Pasoce (her address is on the registration).
HTH has as the guiding principle of all its functions and activities, fidelity to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church: particularly to the Pope, who, as successor to St. Peter, is the universal teacher in matters of faith and morals, to the diocesan bishop teaching in communion with him, as well as to our pastor. "...Religious submission of will and mind must be shown in a special way to the authentic teaching authority of the Roman Pontiff, even when he is not speaking ex cathedra." (Lumen Gentium #25).
We encourage all of our families to get involved and love to hear new ideas. Please share your talents with us! If you have any questions, contact our HTH Ministry Leader Mary Beth Balint for further information.
