Little Disciples is a fun new ministry for kids and families, starting Sunday, November 2nd, and running as a trial through to December 21st. It’s designed for children ages 4–10 to help them meet and experience Jesus through the Gospel readings, prayer, and activities—just right for their age!Little Disciples takes place during the 11:15 am Sunday Mass.We’re getting ready for our big launch and would love your help! Whether you enjoy leading, assisting, or offering support behind the scenes, there’s a place for you on the team.For more information or to Come and See how you may be able to use your gifts contact Eileen at childrens.lit@holytrinityns.ca Metanoia Youth Ministry serves our Middle School and High School aged youth.

We meet for fun, small groups, and meaningful conversations—High School on Sunday nights and Middle School on the first Monday of the month.
