Recycle Those No. 5s
at Holy Trinity

Have you ever wanted to recycle our soup pint and quart containers but Camden County won't take them?

Burlington County does accept these and other #5 containers.

There is now a bin in the Great Hall for recyclable #5 items.

Please contribute other containers -- cottage cheese, yogurt, deli, takeout -- with the #5 symbol so we can take another small step toward being better stewards of God’s creation.

Used Cards Wanted
For 'Upcycling
Card Program'

As part of their mission and outreach efforts, Holy Trinity is reaching out to the “Upcycling Card Program” at St. John of God Community Services in Westville.

The creative citizens in the Vocational Rehabilitation/Adult Services group at St. John of God will remove the front of each card and create a new greeting card.

Craig delivered more than 2,100 cards to St. John of God recently, and since we started collecting the cards, the total has reached many thousands.

Boxes for the cards are on tables near the tower door at Holy Trinity.

Should you have any questions about this effort, call Craig Burgess at 856-667-2003 or see him at coffee hour after Sunday Mass.
