Celebrating Our Most Holy Trinity
Come share in fellowship and refreshments at our upcoming Coffee Hour in honor of the Most Holy Trinity! This special gathering will take place immediately following the Masses on June 14 and 15 in the Gathering Space.
Let’s come together as a community to reflect on the mystery and beauty of the Trinity – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – while enjoying coffee, light refreshments, and meaningful conversation. All are welcome, and we encourage you to bring a friend or neighbor!
We look forward to seeing you there!

Order of Christian Initiation of Adults
The faith journey called OCIA has begun but it is not too late to join us! We meet at noon in the Marian Room (on the church’s lower level). Contact Mary Kramer at mary.kramer@dor.org or (585) 265-1616, ext. 306 for more information.
Calling All Cooks & Hosts!
Help Serve Our Priest with Hospitality & Heart
Every six weeks, Holy Trinity has the special honor of hosting a Saturday evening dinner for our Deanery priests– a time for rest, good food, and fellowship. We’re seeking volunteers to help prepare and/or serve a delicious meal for about 8-10 guests.
Whether you’re a seasoned cook or simply love making others feel welcome, your time and talent make a meaningful difference. Our clergy deeply appreciate the warmth and generosity shown through this ministry.
Interested in joining us or learning more? Give the Parish Office a call at (585) 265-1616.
Weekend Offertory– Volunteers Needed
The presentation of the gifts during Mass – the bread and wine – is far more than a simple task. It is a meaningful tradition and a symbolic act of gratitude, offering back to God a portion of the blessings we have received.
Participating in this moment allows you to represent the entire congregation and become more fully engaged in the celebration of the Eucharist. It’s also very easy to do: two to four people are needed to carry the gifts. Simply follow the cross bearer to the foot of the altar, present the gifts to the priest, and then bow to the altar before returning to your pew.
If you or your family would like to bring up the gifts, please speak to one of the center ushers at least 10 minutes before Mass. Let them know where you are seated. When the Prayers of the Faithful begin, make your way to the back of the church – the ushers will guide you from there.
We hope you’ll consider taking part in this special role. Many find it both an honor and a blessing.
Holy Trinity Picnic
Join us for a day of faith, fun, and fellowship at the Holy Trinity Picnic on Sunday, August 3rd!
Bring your family, friends, and picnic spirit for an afternoon filled with delicious food, games, music, and community joy. Whether you’re a longtime member or new to the parish, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!
Time details coming soon – but for now, mark your calendars and get ready to celebrate together!
Vacation Bible School at St. Rita
July 28 – August 1
Registration is now open for students aged 4-10 and volunteers grades 7+.
Join us for a summer week of games, Bible stories, and tons of fun.
$25 per student; $60 family max
Please note that this is a St. Rita event. Holy Trinity is unable to host a VBS this summer; St. Rita is inviting Holy Trinity parishioners to both participate and volunteer as space allows in their program.
Videography Ministers Needed
Holy Trinity is looking to add to our volunteer team of videographers. We livestream all weekend and weekday Masses as well as occasional special event Masses, and can use help at all of these.
Many parishioners who are unable to leave their home for Mass are able to be with their Holy Trinity family through our livestream efforts. This ministry is such a blessing for those members of our congregation.
This is a “behind-the-scenes” ministry and is open to all in 11th grade and older. Minimal technological knowledge is required and the commitment is approximately 1-2 Masses per month. We also are looking for individuals who might be able to commit to one weekday Mass per week. Please consider whether this might be your calling to serve at Holy Trinity.
If you are interested in learning more about this ministry, please contact Helen Sleeman at helen.sleeman@dor.org or 265-1616 ext 337.
A Call for Ushers
Are you being called to serve at Holy Trinity?
If you enjoy meeting and working with people, the Usher Ministry may be for you. Ushers continue the hospitality extended at the door by our Greeters as they help parishioners find a seat, take up the collection, guide the congregation to communion, answer questions, and assist with special needs among other duties.
Ushers serve on a rotational basis at weekend masses and are asked to volunteer for special liturgies throughout the year. The need is greatest at the 4:30 pm and 10:30 am masses.
Contact Gary Smith at garyfsmith927@gmail.com for more information.
Confessions available on Tuesdays and Saturdays
Saturday: 3:00-4:00 pm
Beginning October 1st
Tuesdays: 4:30-5:30 pm
Come and experience the healing power of the Sacrament of Penance.
¡Ese no es Fr. Jorge, es un impostor!
Several parishioners have received text messages or emails from what looks like Fr. George. These messages are asking for “a favor” or “assistance” or may even start with a direct request for some type of gift cards.
THESE ARE NOT FROM FATHER GEORGE.
If you are unsure about any communication you receive from Father George or another staff member, especially if it is asking for money, please contact the office directly at (585) 265-1616.
Legitimate messages from someone on staff will be from an email address ending with @dor.org. Other characteristics of scam emails are unusual punctuation and no subject or signature line.
Eucharistic Adoration
Thursdays 3-4 pm | Third Thursdays 3-8 pm
Come. Experience this powerful moment of personal prayer.
Communion: Mass
If you know of someone who needs to receive the Most Precious Body and Blood of Jesus, and is unable to come forward during communion time, please contact an usher upon your arrival at Mass. We will alert a Eucharistic Minister so they will be able to administer the special sacrament.
Creating a Safe Environment Education for Volunteers
All volunteers who work with children, youth or vulnerable adults must participate in Creating a Safe Environment (C.A.S.E.) Training before they begin their ministry, and must renew their CASE certification every 3 years. We offer in-person C.A.S.E. Training every month at Holy Trinity.
If you volunteer in any capacity in our parish or related ministries and you are not sure if you need to take this course, or if you need to register for an upcoming training session, contact our Safe Environment Coordinator, Mary Kramer, at (585) 265-1616 ext. 306 | More Information
Gentle Reminders
ATTN: DAILY MASS PARTICIPANTS
For your safety, if you see on TV that Webster Central Schools are closed due to inclement weather, our weekday Masses will be cancelled.
This also affects all evening ministries and activities as well. The Church and our Campus will NOT BE OPEN, thus plowing of our parking lots may not be done.
Parking in Front of Mailboxes
Please be mindful of where you park for mass, weddings, and funerals. We have plenty of parking available, and we are requesting that you do not park along the side of the road. Our neighbors on Ridge Road have had problems receiving their mail because of cars parked in front of their mailbox. The Post Office will not deliver mail if another vehicle is parked in front of the mailbox.
So, please be considerate and park in the designated areas on Holy Trinity property.
Crossing Walk: South Parking Lot
This is a reminder that the crossing walk from the South Parking lot to the front of church is NOT a regular crossing walk and drivers are not required to stop and let someone cross. It is your responsibility to be very careful in crossing the street, especially when it is dark and rainy.
We have signs which let drivers know that there is a cross walk, but it is up to the pedestrian to make sure it is safe to cross.
Our efforts to make sure everyone arrives and leaves safely is our utmost priority.
Handicapped Parking Areas: Sunday
If you are dropping off or picking up faith formation children, or coming to Mass, please do not block the circle driveway in the rear of church and please do not park in the handicapped parking areas.
Our parishioners and visitors who are in need of these spaces are not being able to use them. You may park in the lower parking lot and walk in with your children and wait while they are in class, either before or after you attend Mass. Please be considerate of others.
Snowbirds
If any of you are heading to warmer climates for the winter, please contact the Parish Office @265-1616, so that we may stop and restart you envelopes while you are gone and when you return. The postage is $.71 for a return of the envelopes, and it does get costly.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Offertory
During these frightful and uncertain days we would like you to consider continuing your weekly or monthly offertory. If you are giving online, we are most grateful for your support; if you are using envelopes you may still mail them in, or slip them under the door of the Parish Office. With God’s mercy and prayer we will be humble and thankful for all we have.
Communion Song
Many of you have requested the song that is sung while our sacramental ministers are receiving communion.
Here are the words to “The Holy One is Here”
Be still for the presence of the Lord; the Holy One is here.
Come bow before Him now with reverence and fear.
In Him no sin is found,
We stand on holy ground,
Be still for the presence of the Lord; the Holy One is here.
