Holy Trinity Parish Directory

It’s that time again. We will be photographing parishioners for our 2nd Holy Trinity Parish Directory for distribution in June 2010. All photographed families will receive a free directory, which will include a phone directory and pages from our parish events and ministries. There is no sitting fee and no obligation to purchase the photos. Sign up now to have your family photographed.

Adorers Needed

We have had a wonderful response to our extended Eucharistic Adoration in our beautiful chapel these last several months, with nearly 400 dedicated regular adorers, coordinators and substitutes participating and many more visitors to the chapel. As we move into the summer months, we have a number of openings on our Adoration Schedule where we have only one regular adorer and need your help to ensure that Our Lord Jesus is never left alone!  Whether you've been visiting the chapel regularly and haven't yet signed up for a time, or whether you haven't yet come to experience the peace and beauty of spending time in with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, please consider signing up for a regular Holy Hour by emailing adoration@holytrinityparish.net or calling Jack Peters at 703-980-6370. The times with the greatest need are:

Late Night
** Friday 12am - 1am (ie late Thursday night) *** This is our #1 need, as our lone adorer had to come off the schedule. Even temporary subs are welcome.
Monday 12am - 1am (i.e Sunday night at midnight)
Tuesday 3am - 4am
Wednesday 2am - 3am
Thursday 2am - 3am
Friday 12am - 1am (ie Thursday night at Midnight)

Mornings
Wednesday 9-10am, Monday 11am - Noon

Afternoons
Mondays 1-2pm, Tuesdays 5-6pm, Fridays 5-6pm
 
Note -- Regular adorers in a popular time slot with more than 2 regular prayer partners who are on the schedule, are also welcome to switch to any of these hours.  Contact Jack Peters at adoration@holytrinityparish.net and communicate the change with your Hourly Coordinator.
