History of the Parish
The parish was founded in 1966 to serve the burgeoning Catholic population of Northeast El Paso and is listed by GCatholic with a founding date of 1967. Under founding pastor Father Tom O'Mahoney, Most Holy Trinity School opened in September 1968 as a single Kindergarten class. Growth was steady: first and second grades were added in 1975, with one new grade added each year until eighth grade opened in 1980, producing the school's first graduating class in May 1981. A pre-kindergarten for four-year-olds followed in 1994, and in 1999 a new, larger church was built — the former church, which had been physically attached to the school, was converted into a library and multi-purpose room still used today for meetings and events.
