In an ongoing effort to both encourage our youth to become more involved in their community, and to help feed the hungry families right here in Chicago, the Church School has a continuing food pantry collection throughout the year.

Please bring your non-perishable canned and boxed food for distribution through Onward Neighborhood House, just a few blocks south of Holy Trinity.  During times of fasting, this can be considered a way of giving alms to the needy. Please bring a box or can of something to share with those in need.

The Food Donation Box is now located in the main hall for your added convenience.  Please bring something.  Every little bit helps!

As the summer months approach, many will be traveling more frequently.

On Saturday, June 2, following Liturgy we will have a car blessing for our parishioners and neighbors at 11:00a.

Start off the summer travel season with a special blessing.  You’ll be glad you did!
