WorkCamp 2022!!

December 2 update: Calling all current high schoolers: Now is the time to apply for WorkCamp! Please connect with Charlie and Paul as soon as possible if you’d like to learn more or apply to join us next summer!

Please don’t hesitate to reach-out, even if you did not make it to one of the information meetings early last month. But you’ll need to apply now or very soon, before the spaces are all filled-up!

November 4 update: Three meetings remain, including one this evening!

Original post: It’s only the fall… so winter and spring may be difficult to imagine, much less next summer! However, the diocese asks us to start signing people up officially in early December, and that’s also when fundraising begins, so that’s why we’re having these meetings now! So this is when the planning for next summer’s WorkCamp week begins…

So… are you currently in grades 9, 10, 11, or 12, and want to just learn more — maybe you’re vaguely interested, not ready to make a commitment, maybe you’ve just heard something about WorkCamp from a friend, etc. — if this is you, please join us next week at one of FOUR OPTIONS to learn more:

– Tuesday, November 2, 6:00-6:45 pm
– Thursday, November 4, 6:00-6:45 pm
– Sunday, November 7, 4:00-4:45 pm
– Sunday, November 7, 8:15-9:00 pm

All four meetings will have the same content, so you just need to come to one meeting to get the info we’re sharing; all meetings will be in the Youth Room, but we’ll gather outside the basement doors (near the pond) about 5 minutes before the meetings begin, then go inside.

Any questions? Please contact parish Director of Youth Ministry, Paul Bevins: youthministry@holytrinityparish.net

Giving thanks and feeding & praying with the homeless

This Thanksgiving weekend, two groups of our St. Joseph’s Workers teens and adult youth minister volunteers prepared meal bags (on Friday) and delivered the food to and prayed with the homeless in Washington, DC (Saturday), offering both corporal and spiritual works of mercy to those in need on this special holiday weekend. This idea was created by one of our volunteer youth ministers, Isaac, whose birthday was also this weekend… he wanted to change it up and give to others to celebrate his birthday in a special way.

This generous idea made a perfect match on a weekend when we remember how much we’ve been blessed, and how we can share with those in need. Thank you, all volunteers, teens and adults! And a big thank you in particular to Isaac for the idea and leading the charge for both shifts!

Some highlights:

St Joseph’s Workers meeting!

Our monthly St. Joseph’s Workers organizational meeting will be held this Sunday, March 14. Please come to pray together, hear about our next service project coming up next week, brainstorm a bit for the next project after that, and to get priority access to the sign-up for our next service day!

St. Joseph’s Workers!

Our Holy Trinity Youth Ministries (HTYM) high schoolers are taking the first steps to create another student-created, student-run youth ministry, one that will focus on serving others here at home throughout the year – St. Joseph’s Workers! The initial vision for the ministry will have planning meetings once a month, in advance of a service day or evening later that week.

High schoolers, you’re all very welcomed to join us! Adults, we need you, too… and while handy people will have a special role in this ministry, those less handy, perhaps well-organized, and certainly adults with a heart for service are very welcomed to check this out and help us form the new ministry.
