“Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.”

Bishop Mark Spalding of the Nashville diocese dedicated and blessed Trinity’s new statue of the Blessed Mother on Aug. 11.  Trinity President Dr. Rob Mullen thanked teacher Mrs. Holly McGuire “for acquiring and preparing the statue, and then arranging for the installation, all through donations. The statue was placed in memory of her brothers-in-law Michael ’75 and Greg ’78.”

Teachers Mr. Patrick Koopman and Mr. Wesley Thomas sang the “Ave Maria” at the ceremony. Teachers Mr. Mike Magre and Mr. Bernie Schum and 2019 graduates Nick Gnadinger and Alex Cox, of the Sts. Peter and Paul Society, also took part in the project and dedication.
