The parish was founded as a part of the Archdiocese of St. Louis in 1842. First church structure was completed in 1847.
Members cut the trees, hewed the timbers and fired the bricks for the original church.
The first Pastor, Fr. Francis Rutkowski, a former Polish Count, solicited gifts from European royalty to furnish the church.
In 1912, local builders constructed the large stone church with a pair of towering steeples. The present Church was dedicated October 27, 1912.
We are the oldest parish in the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph and serve approximately 165 families. Fr. Joseph Totton is the pastor of Holy Trinity and our sister parish in Platte City, Twelve Apostles, which is the newest parish in the diocese. Twelve Apostles was dedicated in 2013 and serves approximately 350 families.
