Welcome to the HTP Connection for Holy Trinity Parish, our Weekly News Bulletin. Arriving in your email inbox every Thursday morning, it will be your connection to important events and information from HTP! Ministry Spotlight 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. This week, we’re excited to feature our Music Ministry, and our Administration, Facilities and Finance Ministries as consideration of where God might be calling you to serve! Love to sing or play an instrument? Music brings our community together in prayer and praise. We’re inviting new vocalists and instrumentalists to join our Music Ministry family to help lead our parish in joyful worship each week at Mass and parish events! Whether you’re a seasoned musician or simply love praising God, there’s a place for you. This fall, we’re especially excited for our Youth Choir. Young or old, come out to a practice and see how your gifts can help others encounter Christ through music.For more information or to Come and See how you may be able to use your gifts contact Simon Gomez at simon@holytrinityns.ca. Help Our Parish Thrive Behind the Scenes! Did you know that a lot of what helps our church run smoothly happens behind the scenes? Church administration including finances and property management are essential parts of supporting our parish’s Vision and Mission. Whether it’s organizing the office, keeping records in order, counting weekend donations, or making sure our church grounds and property are safe and beautiful—these roles help create a welcoming, efficient space where worship and ministry can truly flourish. Here are just a few ways this vital work happens: Committee Members and Volunteers for the Building Committee Finance Council members and money counters Administrative Volunteers If you enjoy organizing, managing details, or working with your hands, we’d love to have you on our team! There’s a place for everyone—from behind-the-scenes help to hands-on projects. Contact Shelley Clee at shelley@holytrinityns.ca. Let’s build a stronger, more welcoming parish—together. Little Disciples Children’s Liturgy Starting this Sunday at the 11:15 am Mass! Here’s how it’ll go: When you arrive, stop by the table in the foyer to pick up a name tag for your child. Then, head into the church and sit together as a family just like usual. Right before the readings begin, kids ages 4 to 9 will be invited to meet the volunteers at the back of the church, near the baptismal font. They’ll head to the meeting room across from the washrooms for their own special time to learn about God’s Word in a fun, age-appropriate way. The children will come back to join us during the collection, about 25 minutes later. And after Mass, as families are leaving, kids can pick up a special handout to take home. We’re really looking forward to welcoming our Little Disciples this Sunday!
