This will be the third year that Holy Trinity\u2019s STAR Christmas program has collected monitory donations rather than gifts and food items. COVID made us think about the health and availability of our recipients and volunteers. I miss the comradery that this program brought to our Holy Trinity family. Do you remember setting up a \u201cgrocery store\u201d in the old gym, picking out stars at weekend Mass and lovingly filling the sanctuary with gifts for our recipients? Not to mention the numerous other tasks that enlisted hundreds of volunteers each year? I miss that, it was fun! But there is a new joy discovered. We have been delightfully astounded the past few years with the generosity of our HT family. You should be too! YOU, the parishioners of Holy Trinity contributed just over $30,000.00 in 2020 and just over $32,000.00 in 2021. That is joyful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, come on, let\u2019s do it again! Would you be able to give the same amount you gave last year, perhaps a bit more? Help create and celebrate the true joy of Christmas that is found in giving. In this small, small way, we can reflect the love of Jesus who gave everything…….for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who are we helping? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Holy Trinity assists families at Nativity Preparatory Academy, ROC Love Will End Abortion, St. Monica\u2019s Church, St. Michael\u2019s Church and Corpus Christi Church. That is approximately 70 families or 360 individuals. We have also been able to provide some extra food to Sr. Regis Food Ministry and Webster HOPE. As a reminder, Webster HOPE has a Christmas Program that helps families from Webster that are in need of extra support. Please give Webster Hope a call for more information about their program @265-\u00166694.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is being asked of me? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We are asking everyone to take some time to consider all the ways you have helped STAR in the past. Did you bring in a bag of groceries each week? Maybe each one of your family members chose a star gift. Was your contribution a Christmas turkey or ham? Can you add that all up this year and put it in the form of a monetary gift to help bring Christmas to so many?<\/strong> Perhaps you are new to Holy Trinity in the past few years and you don\u2019t remember \u201chow it used to be\u201d. To you dear friend, welcome! Welcome to this wonderful tradition at Holy Trinity and please join in with all the generosity you can muster!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I help? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There are three ways to donate: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mail a check<\/strong> to Holy Trinity with \u201cStar 2022\u201d in the memo line on or before Sunday, November 27. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you already donate online<\/a><\/strong>, log\u0016in to your account and select the option for Star 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
