As the gentle waves of the sea beckon and the summer horizon calls out to the adventurer in you, there’s an even more compelling reason to answer the call this July 2025. The Holy Trinity Catholic School is hosting a charity fundraising cruise on Carnival Freedom, embarking on a journey not just across the Bahama Islands but into the heart of community giving and shared experiences. Here’s why you should consider being a part of this unique voyage to Celebration Key and Half Moon Cay.
Uniting for Education
Education is the cornerstone of personal development and community growth, and by joining the charity fundraising cruise, you’re directly contributing to the bright futures of Holy Trinity Catholic School’s students. For every cabin booked, $62 will be donated to the school which will support educational resources, improved facilities, and empowerment of the school’s mission to provide a well-rounded, faith-based education.
