Serving students in preschool through eighth grade, Holy Trinity School continues a long legacy of Catholic education in Perry County, as well as a strong connection with the Somerset community.

About the donors

Dave and Bev Paxton, longtime supporters of Holy Trinity Parish and School, created the Holy Trinity School Endowment Fund. Read their story here.

The Holy Trinity School Endowment Fund has special continuance considerations. Though it is the intent of the fund to support Holy Trinity School in perpetuity, should Holy Trinity School merge with one or more other Catholic schools, the surviving school shall continue to benefit from the fund, provided a member of the Holy Trinity Parish attends the school as a student. In the event Holy Trinity School should cease to operate, a successor school does not have a student from Holy Trinity Parish or the Holy Trinity Parish closes and no formal merger/consolidation has been realized, the fund shall be converted to the Reading Township Volunteer Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services Fund and shall support the public purposes of the volunteer fire department and volunteer emergency medical services. The intent of the fund is to ensure that dollars invested in the fund will remain in the local Somerset community.
