The HTA Mission Costa Rica 2026 celebrated the dedication of the Holy Trinity Academy dorm room in San Jose. This room, located in the newly constructed “Torres,” supports the Asociación Obras del Espíritu Santo’s vision to provide long-term housing for vulnerable young people. The room is designed to house two young men, ages 18 to 25, supporting them as they attend school and transition into stable jobs. The room’s dedication features the scripture, “I can do all things in him who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13), a verse personally selected by Padre Sergio Valverde Espinoza. Ongoing fundraising efforts by our school community—including bottle drives, cookie and bake sales, Purdie’s chocolate sales, silent auctions, and many other events—made this donation possible. Thank you for your ongoing support! 🇨🇷🇨🇦

What a great volunteer opportunity, HTA!

HTA Students, let’s get involved! 💚🖤💚

Happy Easter! He is risen! 💚

We are proud to celebrate the inspiring journey of Mrs. Stephanie Krueger, who has turned her lifelong curiosity about the world into a career rooted in service, compassion, and connection. From teaching Spanish and welcoming every student with a warm, inclusive heart to supporting newcomers with empathy, she embodies the caring spirit of Catholic education. Since 2014, she has also led our Mission Costa Rica trip, offering students a life-changing opportunity to build global awareness, serve others, and grow in faith. Her story shows how education at HTA goes far beyond textbooks, forming young people through faith, hope, love, and compassionate action. To read the full article, visit The Calgary Journal.
