Help Needed

As many of you know Father Peffley does great evangilization work with the audio recordings he has made throughout his life as a priest.

Many of these recordings are available in CD form at the Holy Trintiy Gift Shop or on the parish website. At this point many more are still in need of being transferred over from cassette to digital files. We also need help with order forms and organizing and refilling the CD's int he Gifft Shop.

Please prayerfully consider helping with this wonderful ministry. If you are able to assit pleaee-mail Jerry Draney.

All those who have their picture taken will receive a free 8X10 and there is no fee for the session.

Modell's

For the next month Modell's is offering Holy Trinty a great deal. They have given us a special coupon that gets you a 10% discount on purchases and then 5% goes back to the church (Coupon at www. holytrinityparish.net). We also sell Gift Cards through our Gift Card program for Modell's which would then increase the percentage back to Holy Trinity. So if you are planning on getting any sports gear for the Christmas season please consider helping out Holy Trinity.

Staying Healhty this Winter

We would like to remind you to please stay home if you are feeling sick. It is not a sin to miss Mass if you are sick and it is important to stay home and get yourself well again and not spread germs further. This also applies to activities at the church including CCD.

We also remind you that the Sign of Peace is optional during Mass and that if you wish you can just say "Peace be with you" and nod to your neighbor.

Thank you for being considerate to your fellow parishioners during this cold and flu season.

Mass overflow and Damages to the church

We understand that Mass can be crowded and it is very tempting to sit along the sides on the registers. This structure is not made to support a person and we are sustaining damage to these areas due to people using them to sit on. Please DO NOT SIT on the registers along the sides. We provide overflow seating in St. Patrick's Hall with closed circuit TV and sound piped in from the church. We also welcome you to explore the options of other Masses which are not as crowded.
