youthministry – Updates from Our Priests and Parish

One Act Play auditions!

Just a quick reminder for all high schoolers — auditions for the annual One Act Play are this coming Sunday, January 31, from 2:00-4:30 pm in Our Lady’s Hall. Come prepared with a 1-minute comedy monologue — it’s great if you have it memorized, but memorization isn’t a prerequisite. A handful of rehearsals will be well spread-out between now and the competition on May 15…a competition where we gather with several other parishes from across the diocese for a great day of theater and film!

(We are also seeking entrants for the Short Film Festival that same day… please email Paul to learn more about this)

Please email Matt and Paul to give us a heads-up that you plan to be there — youthministry@holytrinityparish.net — but if you forget to email ahead, please come anyway!

Hope to see you Sunday!

Upcoming HTYM events & meetings!

We just wanted to quickly get the word out a bit wider about a couple of big upcoming events.

Also, Mondays have three monthly ministries for high schoolers, each meet once a month. This week is St. Gianna’s Life Defenders’ monthly meeting (they meet 2nd Mondays); this is our parish’s pro-life high school ministry. Also, St. Thomas’s Youth Apologists apologetics ministry meets on 4th Mondays (next on November 23), and Gamemasters board-gaming ministry meets on 1st Mondays (next on December 7). Currently, all of our meetings are being held on the pond side of the building, near the basement doors.

— Turkey Cup sign-up! https://forms.gle/R2HTa1fGEvaee72XA

All high schoolers are welcomed to come by and join us at any of these meetings, any month. We hope that you’ll consider coming by!

We are in need of great adult volunteers for these (and other) ministries, too, so please contact Paul if you’d like to learn more.

To hear more about these or any of the other Holy Trinity Youth Ministries (HTYM), please email Paul: youthministry@holytrinityparish.net.

Middle school hike!
