Nestled at the top of a gently, slopping hill off North Highway 92 in Jefferson City stands Holy Trin- ity Catholic Church. Holy Trinity, pastored by Fr. James “Jim” Harvey, ministers to a growing Catholic congregation in the Jefferson and Grainger County communites. Assisting Fr. Jim in sheperding his flock are a dynamic quartet of Deacons. The mission statement of Holy Trinity is offer- ing a place where people discover Jesus. With its doors always open to anyone interested in Christianity and our Catholic faith, Holy Trinity offers Holy Mass on weekends in both English (Saturday, 5:00 PM; Sunday 10:30 AM) and Spanish (Saturday, 7:00 PM). Mass is also celebrated at 9:00AM on Tuesday through Friday during the week. The first Mass of Holy Trin- ity Catholic Church was held in February 1991 at George Street Methodist Church. They gracoi- usly allowed us to hold Mass there for 5 years until our current prop- erty was puchased and the church built.
