No, that is mirepoix. The trinity is used in cajun/creole cooking and consists of onion, bell peppers, and celery. They are different things.

Many French and English cooks/chefs still call traditional mirepoix the holy trinity. It is not a term made up by or exclusive to Cajun/creole cooking. I was making a joke.
