After School Program
The goal of the Trinity Catholic Academy After School Program is to provide a safe, stimulating and nurturing after school environment for students in grades PreK-8. There are opportunities for teacher led as well as child initiated activities. The space allows for homework, games, reading, and gym time. This program is meant to enhance rather than duplicate the regular school day.
The Program follows the school calendar and operates on days when school is in session excluding half-days, early release days due to weather and special circumstances.
Faith in Action Team (FIAT)
FIAT Mission Statement
The Faith In Action Team encourages prayer and sharing of our faith in our school and our community.
FIAT strives to live and to teach others to live as Jesus taught us.
The Faith in Action Team (FIAT) is a group of students in grades 5-8 interested in sharing their faith and helping others. The goal of FIAT is to help all students live their faith by leading through example. This group leads the school in morning and afternoon prayer each day. They are also leaders for Trinity’s annual All School Retreat. FIAT meets every other week and works through the year providing help for various community programs. FIAT works on a food drive for St. John Paul II Food Pantry each year. During the holiday season, FIAT participates in St. John Paul II Parish Giving Tree program by raising money to go out and buy gifts for a family in need.
Students interested in becoming a member of FIAT submit a short essay explaining what gifts they feel they can bring to the group. Students must attend their church regularly (students need not be Catholic to be a member of FIAT), must have a strong moral conscience, and show some leadership qualities. Students must maintain a C or above average to remain a member of FIAT.

Our NJHS chapter raised money to purchase and install a Peace Pole and create a Peace Garden on school grounds. The Peace Pole has “May Peace Prevail on Earth” written in eight languages that celebrate eight of the many cultures represented in our school.
