Lorenzo & Miguel Rivera:

Holy Trinity Parishioners

Make It to Little League World Series!

   Our very own parishioner, 13-year old Miguel Rivera

made Holy Trinity proud this summer

as part of the hometown Murrayhill Majors All Stars

team that took third place in the Little League World

Series. 

  With experience playing left field, first

base, and pitcher, Miguel was specially selected for

the prestigious All Star team of twelve by coaches and

players in the league.  Miguel says "my father has

been with me all the way: through states, regionals,

and all the way to Williamsport." 

  Looking back atthis amazing experience to showcase his talent, Miguel acknowledges that after the first game, his nerves went away, and that he was able to make new friends

along the way.  Miguel made special note that he

became fast friends with many of the players off of

the team from Hawaii. Members of the Holy Trinity

parish since 1999 when he and his father, Lorenzo, moved to Portland from Sydney, Australia, they have

both been very active in the church. 

  Miguel has been an altar server, choir member and has "grown up in the church" by taking his first communion and being confirmed at Holy Trinity.  Lorenzo gives of his time

as a communion minister and lector.  Congratulations
