We live in a world that has largely lost touch with those rituals and values inspired by Christian belief.
How to speak to people probably requires that we listen to them to discern what are -- and are not -- motivating them to see the love that God has for them and the kind of life to which God is calling them."Fr. Martin Gutwein
Look what the soup crew has made for for September. It's hamburger barley, a parish favorite.
The soup is $4 a pint and $7 a quart. Each month, you can now order and pay on Vanco (there is a processing fee when you order online) or by cash or check as always, using the order form that appears here, with a QR code for online ordering.
Order forms are always on our Soup Page.Oh, and there's always other kinds of soup in the freezer. Just call the church office or look in the freezer during coffee hour, and just let Charlotte or Lois Know.
The St. Francis Garden was an idea conceived by our late rector, Fr. Mark H. Chattin, after he saw one while visiting a parish where he had once served as rector.
For more information, here is a link to the brochure.
As part of their mission and outreach efforts, Holy Trinity and residents of Premier Cadbury of Cherry Hill are 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.
