Our History
Blessed Trinity began as a mission in 1953, holding its first Mass in a tent. By 1956, it outgrew the tent and moved to temporary accommodations while a church and school were built. Groundbreaking occurred in July 1957, and the church and school were blessed on January 15, 1958. The parish shared a pastor with another Hialeah church until 1958. In 2013, the parish celebrated its 60th anniversary with the blessing of the Father Joseph T. Carney Enrichment Center. The parish celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2023.
