Journey Through the Bible
Come and join us as we study the mass readings for the following weekend. The presented Dr. Brant Pitre videos provide an in depth explanation of the Gospel readings, connecting them with the Old Testament reading and Responsorial Psalm. After the video, we will share a dessert and discuss the readings in a small group. Having offered this study last year, we have found that many people have enjoyed a better understanding of the Bible and the teachings of the Church.

Mail a check to Holy Trinity with “Star 2024” in the memo line on or before Sunday, November 30.

A Call for Ushers
Are you being called to serve at Holy Trinity?
If you enjoy meeting and working with people, the Usher Ministry may be for you. Ushers continue the hospitality extended at the door by our Greeters as they help parishioners find a seat, take up the collection, guide the congregation to communion, answer questions, and assist with special needs among other duties.
Ushers serve on a rotational basis at weekend masses and are asked to volunteer for special liturgies throughout the year. The need is greatest at the 4:30 pm and 10:30 am masses.
Contact Gary Smith at garyfsmith927@gmail.com for more information.

Coats for Kids
Once again K of C Trinity Council #4618 has kicked off our 13th Annual Fund Drive for “Coats for Kids” amongst our membership. This annual fund drive to support “Coats for Kids” runs through September, October and the first 2 weeks of November.
Since 2012, the Webster Knights of Columbus have run this fund drive each Fall and have been able to purchase 3576 NEW winter coats over 12 years that we have done this. These coats are distributed through many charitable organizations, schools, & churches, to children of need throughout Monroe & Wayne Counties just in time for cold weather.
This past year’s fund drive continued to receive donations after coats were ordered. With the remaining funds we started “Sneakers for Children” this past Spring and gave away 144 NEW pairs of sneakers to some of the same outlets, which we hope to continue.
Each coat is purchased new, at a cost of $25.00 and sneakers at a cost of $18.00. If you would like to help us, Trinity Council is asking for your most generous donation, by making a check payable to Knights of Columbus #4618 and sending it to:
“Coats for Kids”

230 Champion Ave.

Thank you to all our Holy Trinity
Thank You & May God Bless You for your support.

Confessions available on Tuesdays and Saturdays
Saturday: 3:00-4:00 pm
Beginning October 1st
Tuesdays: 4:30-5:30 pm
Come and experience the healing power of the Sacrament of Penance.
¡Ese no es Fr. Jorge, es un impostor!
Several parishioners have received text messages or emails from what looks like Fr. George. These messages are asking for “a favor” or “assistance” or may even start with a direct request for some type of gift cards.
THESE ARE NOT FROM FATHER GEORGE.
If you are unsure about any communication you receive from Father George or another staff member, especially if it is asking for money, please contact the office directly at (585) 265-1616.
Legitimate messages from someone on staff will be from an email address ending with @dor.org. Other characteristics of scam emails are unusual punctuation and no subject or signature line.
Eucharistic Adoration
Thursdays 3-4 pm | Third Thursdays 3-8 pm
Come. Experience this powerful moment of personal prayer.
Communion: Mass
If you know of someone who needs to receive the Most Precious Body and Blood of Jesus, and is unable to come forward during communion time, please contact an usher upon your arrival at Mass. We will alert a Eucharistic Minister so they will be able to administer the special sacrament.
Creating a Safe Environment Education for Volunteers
All volunteers who work with children, youth or vulnerable adults must participate in Creating a Safe Environment (C.A.S.E.) Training before they begin their ministry, and must renew their CASE certification every 3 years. We offer in-person C.A.S.E. Training every month at Holy Trinity.
If you volunteer in any capacity in our parish or related ministries and you are not sure if you need to take this course, or if you need to register for an upcoming training session, contact our Safe Environment Coordinator, Mary Kramer, at (585) 265-1616 ext. 306 | More Information
Gentle Reminders
ATTN: DAILY MASS PARTICIPANTS
For your safety, if you see on TV that Webster Central Schools are closed due to inclement weather, our weekday Masses will be cancelled.
This also affects all evening ministries and activities as well. The Church and our Campus will NOT BE OPEN, thus plowing of our parking lots may not be done.
Parking in Front of Mailboxes
Please be mindful of where you park for mass, weddings, and funerals. We have plenty of parking available, and we are requesting that you do not park along the side of the road. Our neighbors on Ridge Road have had problems receiving their mail because of cars parked in front of their mailbox. The Post Office will not deliver mail if another vehicle is parked in front of the mailbox.
So, please be considerate and park in the designated areas on Holy Trinity property.
Crossing Walk: South Parking Lot
This is a reminder that the crossing walk from the South Parking lot to the front of church is NOT a regular crossing walk and drivers are not required to stop and let someone cross. It is your responsibility to be very careful in crossing the street, especially when it is dark and rainy.
We have signs which let drivers know that there is a cross walk, but it is up to the pedestrian to make sure it is safe to cross.
Our efforts to make sure everyone arrives and leaves safely is our utmost priority.
Handicapped Parking Areas: Sunday
If you are dropping off or picking up faith formation children, or coming to Mass, please do not block the circle driveway in the rear of church and please do not park in the handicapped parking areas.
Our parishioners and visitors who are in need of these spaces are not being able to use them. You may park in the lower parking lot and walk in with your children and wait while they are in class, either before or after you attend Mass. Please be considerate of others.
Snowbirds
If any of you are heading to warmer climates for the winter, please contact the Parish Office @265-1616, so that we may stop and restart you envelopes while you are gone and when you return. The postage is $.71 for a return of the envelopes, and it does get costly.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Walk With Me: Reflections of a Parish Priest
By Father Timothy Horan
The book is available for purchase online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble in both hardcover and paperback.
God Bless you, Fr. Tim.
We love and miss you.
Holy Trinity History – Photo Display
Come and see the new display of Holy Trinity pictures in the glass case outside the parish office. You will see some of the oldest pictures we have in our collection going back to the first church built in 1861. Also we have a copy of a page out of a recently discovered 1911 to 1969 trustee meeting journal. This book has notes from 6 different pastors.
Finally, see if you recognize the picture in the bottom right hand corner of the display? Who is this young man?
Offertory
During these frightful and uncertain days we would like you to consider continuing your weekly or monthly offertory. If you are giving online, we are most grateful for your support; if you are using envelopes you may still mail them in, or slip them under the door of the Parish Office. With God’s mercy and prayer we will be humble and thankful for all we have.
Communion Song
Many of you have requested the song that is sung while our sacramental ministers are receiving communion.
Here are the words to “The Holy One is Here”
Be still for the presence of the Lord; the Holy One is here.
Come bow before Him now with reverence and fear.
In Him no sin is found,
We stand on holy ground,
Be still for the presence of the Lord; the Holy One is here.
