Thank You!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported today’s celebration and generously contributed to our “bring and share” of cultural foods.

Homeless Christmas Lunch

Join the PPC and SSVP in sharing the joy of Christmas at the parish annual Homeless Christmas Lunch on Tuesday 16 December 2025 (public holiday). We invite our Trinity family to participate by offering donations (financial or in kind) and hands-on support to make this event special. Donations of rice, samp, pasta, tinned goods, cooking oil and other condiments, soft drinks (cans and buddy bottles) and closer to the time, frozen chicken and red meat would be most welcome. Cash donations can be made to the parish bank account with the reference Christmas Lunch. For more information, please contact Prudence 082 448 6067 and Bertin 072 275 5829. 

Christmas Market

Kopanang Community Trust will be selling handmade embroidered products after both Masses on Sunday, 7 December. Each item is crafted by women from Tsakane who earn an income through their artistry. Your support helps sustain their families and preserve a 25-year tradition of skill, dignity, and community upliftment.

Celebrating Sacraments

Please note: The Sacraments of the Church are meant to be lived; they are not “magic”. They are celebrated in the community of the Church, for the recipients and for the community. They belong to the Church and are not “given” to individuals. When presenting a child for baptism or requesting the Sacrament of Marriage, we expect people to be members of the community who regularly worship with the community. We cannot celebrate Sacraments if people do not regularly worship with the community, or there is little indication that there will be regular Sacramental practice and participation.

Have you previously taken part in the Alpha Course? The parish is in the process of forming an Alpha Team for our upcoming programme, and we are inviting former participants to consider serving in this ministry. Your experience and presence can make a meaningful contribution to others who are beginning their journey of faith. If you are interested in joining the team, please email alpha@trinityjhb.co.za to express your interest.
