| Holy Trinity Parish is Blessed With So Many Amazing Ministries and Teams All working together to serve our parish and carry out the mission of Jesus. In his homily this weekend, Fr. Michael reminded us that while Jesus could do this work all on His own, He invites us to be part of it. He challenged us to think about where we fit in, what gifts we have to offer, and where we see ourselves five years from now. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be shining a spotlight on some of the awesome ministries that make a difference in our community. This week, we’re excited to feature our Hospitality Team and Digital Ministry Team. Stay tuned as we celebrate the people behind the scenes who help make Holy Trinity feel like home. Do You Love Making People Feel Welcome? We Do Too! Our Weekend Hospitality Team is all about creating a warm, friendly vibe for everyone who walks into church. Whether it’s greeting at the door, helping people find a seat, answering questions, or serving coffee after Mass, we’re here to make sure everyone feels at home. We’ve got an awesome team of volunteers—but we’re always looking for more friendly faces! Right now, we’re especially looking for Greeters, Ushers, Coffee Social volunteers, and Mass Coordinators. You can help out for as little as 1 hour a week—and it’s a great way to meet people, spread joy, and be part of something meaningful. Got a great smile or love saying hi? Come join us! Contact Catherine at catherine@holytrinityns.ca or at 782-253-0025. Join our Digital Ministry Team! We use creativity and technical skills to help people connect with God during Mass—whether they’re in the pews or watching from home. From running the livestream and slides to managing sound and creating visuals, each role plays a part in making our worship meaningful and accessible. It’s a great way to serve, learn new skills, and be part of something bigger. Interested? Come check it out or talk to a team member—we’d love to have you on board!
