BACKPACK GRATITUDE
The backpack drive has now ended. The Community Clothing Center thanks all parishioners for their great generosity! We gave away 159 backpacks along with many school supplies. The children were delighted to choose their own from a wide variety of quality donations. THANK YOU all so much, they were greatly appreciated!
Non-Perishable Food Campaign
WE GIVE THANKS to our Parish community for the abundant donations to our food campaign. We were able to provide a variety of goods to the Red Creek Community Food Cupboard and the Wolcott Presbyterian Church Food Cupboard. In addition, through Social Ministry funds, we made monetary donations to help them provide for holiday giving. Please remember in your prayers those who volunteer and work in food pantries and other feeding programs in our community. Repeatedly, Jesus tells us through his words and actions to care about people’s physical needs. We are all doing just that! Thank you very much for your support.
~ Pam AuClair and Marie Smith
THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!
In Matthew Kelly’s book, The Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic, he names the third sign of a dynamic Catholic as generosity. He notes that generosity is at the heart of the Christian life, just as it is at the heart of the Gospel, and that God proposes generosity as the path to happiness. Matthew Kelly speaks of many facets of generosity…time, talent, and treasure. Once again Parishioners have answered the call to be generous as the Health and Hygiene Drive concludes. Many, many items were donated to benefit the Red Creek and North Rose-Wolcott schools. Thank you very much for your continued support and your generosity. It is greatly appreciated! We are blessed.

BACKPACK BONANZA A HUGE SUCCESS THANKS TO YOUR GENEROSITY!
The Community Clothing Center wishes to extend immense gratitude to the parishioners of CCBT for their over-the-top generous response to the backpack drive. You are all incredible!

Bob Lee. THANK YOU!!! This is our faith in action ❤!
THANK YOU ONE AND ALL
I have to thank everyone who planned last Sunday’s Parish Picnic. You all did a wonderful job as usual. I really believe fun was had by everyone in attendance. There was more than enough food for all. The games proved to be geared towards everyone, young and the more mature, those more advanced in years. There was great conversation, good fun, lots of laughs. The setting at Fair Haven State Park is also perfect. We also had perfect weather. There were some new faces there which meant new acquaintances and possibly new members for the Blessed Trinity Community. I know I had a good time and always do at the Parish Picnic. Too bad that event is only once a year. Thanks to all who came. It’s important for all of us to take the time to choose joy, fun and laughter for ourselves as often as we can.
Father Mike
