One of our neighbors that has mobility issues needs a ride to church. She lives at the Luther Towers on West State Street, so close to the Cathedral. If you think you can help out (it doesn’t need to be every week) please call Patrice in the office.
Homecoming Sunday is on September 13th! Please bring a potluck dish to share as we enjoy a meal together after the 10:00 am Mass.
Our Regular hospitality hour will start up again on September 20th – We are trying to formalize a regular schedule where folks bring things on certain Sundays, and we print a reminder in the service bulletin the week prior. If you would like to sign up to bring an item, please take a look at the list posted on the bulletin board across from Synod Hall. You don’t need to bring something every week, even once per month would be welcomed. You can also sign up to help with set-up & clean-up.
During the summer, our after-service hospitality hour has transitioned to lighter, more informal selections of coffee, cookies and cold drinks. This helps simplify set-up and clean-up during the hot summer months, in order to give our hospitality volunteers an annual break. If you would like to continue bringing a dish of any kind to share during the summer, feel free to do so! Alternatively, you may bring cookies or something similar.
We would like to gather some parishioners to attend the annual ECS-NJ Gala in October (please see the flyer in your bulletin for more information.) If you would like to attend, please speak with Patrice D’Angelo in the office.
The 8:30 am Mass is off for summer break; see you in September!
The Cathedral office is currently on summer hours: Mon. – Thurs., 9:00 am – 4:00 pm and Fri., 9:00 am – 1:00 pm.
We will be issuing a new Parish Directory in the early Fall – Sometime over the summer, please fill out the “Member Profile Form” found on our literature tables to update your information, and drop it in the collection plate. You can also bring or mail it to Patrice in the office or scan and E-mail it to patriceattrinity@aol.com. Keeping our contact information up-to-date is vital to our parish communications – thank you for your assistance!
To help make everyone feel welcome at the Cathedral, we ask that everyone wear their nametags for worship and events at the Cathedral. Look for your nametag near the parking lot entrance. If there is not one with your name on it yet, please use a temporary nametag and sign up on the sheet provided; one will be made for you the following week.
The next Food Pantry distribution date is – Saturday, August 22nd (2nd & 4th Saturdays this month) from 9-11:00 am. Each Thursday, we distribute hot dinners “to go” from 4:15–5:30pm at the Overbrook Avenue entrance as a satellite location for the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen.
