Parking Issues |
We are blessed that so many parishioners are attending the 10:30 Sunday mass! Please do not park in the fire lanes and other non-marked spots. Some have driven into the back field and other non-paved areas. This has caused damage to the curbs, paved areas and caused soil erosion. Effective immediately overflow parking is only allowed in the commuter parking lot across the street behind the Methodist Church (not their parking lot). Please allow yourselves a few extra minutes getting to mass or consider another mass time!! |

Christmas Giving Tree Update: |
Thank you all who took tags for the Giving Tree. Please return them, unwrapped, by December 15th. Gift cards should be handed to a Giving Tree volunteer before or after masses, or taken to the parish office. Please do not leave them under the tree if no one is there. If you took a tag for a gift card and Scrip/Gift Cards are on-sale at the mass you attend, you may be able to get your gift card right there or you may go to the parish office to also support the Gift Card program. If you have questions, email Kimberly at dalrymple5@comcast.net |

Blood Drive |
The Knights of Columbus Annual Christmas Blood Drive is scheduled for Sunday, December 20 from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Go to the Inova Blood Services website to make an appointment.
Why Give Blood? There is no substitute for blood. It can only come from one place and that's a volunteer blood donor. A growing population is creating an increased demand for blood and blood products in our community. Because the need for blood is so great, a consistent inventory is vital. Therefore, it is essential we have a steady stream of volunteer blood donors, as well as community partners who sponsor regular blood drives. |

Pledge Payment Update |
Pledge payment Coordinator - Holy Trinity parishioners have been very generous in making sacrificial pledges to both RIF-FIH and parish direct pledges. For this, we humbly thank you! However, we also have seen a recent "slowdown" in pledge payments received. As we are now paying a monthly mortgage of $ 79,928.12, we need to reinvigorate our efforts to receive the pledge payments. Father Peffley has appointed parishioner Pete Verfurth as Pledge Payment Coordinator. Mr. Verfurth is tasked with the responsibility of contacting parishioners as needed and bringing their pledge payments up to date. Mr. Verfurth has previously worked on the Capital Campaign Committee and is aware of all the payment options available to the parishioners to get the pledge payments current.
Mr. Verfurth will be contacting some parishioners at the request of Father Peffley to insure that Holy Trinity has the financial resources to pay our debt |

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.
Offer good through December 10, 2009 |
