About Holy Trinity · Aurora, Missouri
Holy Trinity Parish is a Roman Catholic faith community in Aurora, Missouri, serving the Ozarks under the Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau. Founded in the late 19th century during Aurora's mining boom, the parish has grown from small City Hall Masses into a vibrant congregation anchored by its current church at Carnation Road and Highway 60, dedicated in 1980. Today, parishioners gather for weekend and weekday Masses, confession, and traditional devotions in a church enriched by stained glass, native stone, and the historic bell from the original 1906 building.

History
Holy Trinity Parish was established in 1896 when Fr. William Burke became the first resident pastor. The parish grew from City Hall Masses served by Conception Abbey Benedictines to a permanent church built in 1906. After a 1915 fire, the church was restored, and the parish later relocated to its current Highway 60 site in 1980.
