PASTORAL STAFF
Holy Trinity had two ribbon-cutting ceremonies following the Easter
Vigil Mass. First, the church office was officially acknowledged.
The Diocese of Wheeling/Charleston was kind enough to pay for our
Tri-Parish Church office. Sal Rossi of Quality Woods and his
talented artisans created the beautiful wooden desks, cabinets and
walls. Pictured are Bobby Legg and Richard Gerkin who helped
with the construction of the project. Also, not pictured who helped
tirelessly with construction was Moon Musilli. We owe all of you a
debt of sincere gratitude.
L-R Bobby Legg, Sal Rossi, Richard Gerkin, Deacon Dennis Nesser,
Fr. Joe Tuscan, Shelby Bowen, David Bowen
In appreciation for the past contributions of The Passero Family, the
conference room was celebrated and named in honor of former
parishioner, Jim Passero.

TRI-PARISH VISION
In the heart of our three churches resides the Triune God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Born of Divine Life our three churches unfold
like leaves of one tree of life. Each church is unique in character, yet all are bonded in one baptismal call – becoming One Body,
professing One Faith, and living One Mission. Encircled by wheels of collaboration in building the Kingdom of God, we reach out to all
four corners of the world proclaiming by the testament of our lives the saving power of Christ’s Cross.

WITNESSES
The apostles testified to the
resurrection of the Lord Jesus,
even Thomas, the doubter. “This
witness is recorded so that you
may believe that Jesus is the
Christ, Son of God.” Tradition is
the handing on of this firsthand witness of those who
saw from the beginning till each of us now. “Happy and
blessed are those who have not seen, yet believe.” Our
faith is based on witnesses. We cry with Thomas, “My
Lord and my God!” May the Lord strengthen us and
give us his peace. Peace be with you!
