Holy Trinity Parish, Fingal, began in the summer of 1888 when Catholic immigrants from Austria-Hungary, who since 1879 had settled in the Fingal area, decided to build a church.
The "Old Stone Church," which they named "Holy Trinity" in memory of a church in the old country, was built north-east of what is now the village of Fingal.
In 1909 a school was added to the church and called St. Gerhard's, after Father Gerhard Wilkes, then the Pastor of Holy Trinity. Father Herman Wilkes, a brother of Father Gerhard Wilkes, succeeded him in 1910.
In 1918 it was decided to build a new church, this time in the Village of Fingal. It was also called "Holy Trinity" and in 1968 a beautiful Fatima Shrine was donated by Mr. and Mrs. John J. Gruman to remind all people to pray for Peace.
In 1975 the membership stands at 345. The present pastor is Father George Bolte.
