Are you planning to attend the Sackville Tree Lighting on Saturday, November 29th, from 6–7 pm at Acadia Park on Sackville Drive? This is a wonderful opportunity to extend a warm invitation to our Sackville neighbours to join us for Christmas Mass at Holy Trinity. To help make inviting easy, Christmas invitation business cards are available for pickup at the Welcome Desk in the foyer. These cards include a friendly invitation to celebrate Christmas with us, along with our Christmas Mass times.A personal invitation to those in our community and to your friends and loved ones is a simple but powerful way to share the Good News of Jesus’ birth this Christmas.Let’s reach out with joy and welcome others into the celebration! Envelopes Ready for Pickup The 2026 weekly offering envelopes are now ready for pickup. You’ll find them on the table in the foyer in alphabetical order by your last name. When collecting your set, please take a moment to confirm that the name on the box is yours. Occasionally, envelopes are picked up by mistake, which makes it difficult to accurately record donations and ensure they are assigned to the correct person. If you do not have weekly offering envelopes and would like to have them, or if you would like to enrol in a pre-authorized giving option (PAR), please see Shelley Clee, and she would be pleased to assist you. Thank you for your help and cooperation! Washroom Reminders Recently, our plumbing was down due to pipe blockages in our washrooms. A reminder that items such as sanitary products, wipes, paper towels, etc., should be disposed of in the bins provided in the stalls and in the garbage.

The Knights will supply the boughs for the wreaths, along with the candles to mark the weeks, but it’s recommended that families bring their own limb clippers to help make their wreath. If you’re able to make a small contribution, the Knights ask for a $10 donation per wreath to help offset costs, but the donation is not required to participate. If your family is interested in attending, please RSVP to Ernie MacIsaac (ehmisaac@ns.sympatico.ca) by November 24th, letting him know how many attendees from your family will be coming, and how many wreaths you’ll want to make. Hope to see you there as we prepare to celebrate the season of Advent!
