Pastor's Welcome

Dear Friend in Christ,

The Catholic Church extends across all boundaries and gathers people together from every race, language, and way of life to form the Body of Christ in the world today. She brings together into a single unity many different and diverse people, building them up in the love and peace that only God can give. We, the people of Holy Trinity Parish, recognize that while we are but a small part of the Church Universal, we share in her mission to make the presence of Christ visible everywhere.

God himself is a unity of Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Our parish, having the distinction of being dedicated in His very name, strives to make visible this very reality that we, though many, are one body.

Thank you for visiting us via this website. We hope that it will give you a greater sense of who we are at Holy Trinity Parish as we strive to announce the Good News in Northeast Nebraska. If you are a visitor to our parish we welcome you and hope you will visit us in person someday. If you are a member of our parish we hope that this site will keep you better connected with what is happening in our faith community.

May God—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—bless you and keep you always in His love!

 Sincerely,
Reverend Jeffery S. Loseke
 Pastor

Who We Are

The town of Hartington was founded in the fall of 1883, and within a few months the Catholic settlers of the town built Holy Trinity Church.This new parish received its first pastor in 1886, and was incorporated into the Diocese of Omaha on September 10, 1887. Several years later, in 1901, the parish built and opened Holy Trinity School for the education of its youth.

Today, Holy Trinity is made up of more than 580 households and educates more than 150 children in our PreK-6 school. Over 200 students attend Cedar Catholic Jr.-Sr. High School, which Holy Trinity and five other parishes support. Holy Trinity parishioners continue to make a positive impact on the Hartington community through their involvement, leadership, and way of life according to the Gospel message. Holy Trinity is proud to celebrate 125 years of faith and looks forward with hope to a bright future in God’s grace.
