Trinity Monthly LEctures

Trinity Monthly Lectures is an ongoing formation series of lectures which will be on the 4th Sunday of each month. This month’s lecture will be on the 25th June at 11am in the Trinity House Hall. The topic is: “The abolition of torture” by Fr. Rampe Hlobo SJ . Tea, coffee and biscuits will be served after the lecture.

June Environmental Month

The Earth and all that is in it is a gift from God, who gives it’s stewardship to all peoples and nations and also the responsibility to care for it and use it for the good of all.  Looking at the present state of the earth’s natural environment, it is impossible to ignore that we have not been good stewards of God’s Earth.  Throughout this month of June parishioners of Holy Trinity are invited by the HT Caritas Environmental Group to reflect on WATER as one of the environmental elements placed in our care.

WATER SERVICES MUST BE AFFORDABLE TO ALL!
