Payout to Debbie was $9,000 and payout to the Most Holy Trinity Building Fund was $9,000. Thank you to all who supported our fundraiser! The next Queen of Hearts drawings will begin in 2022. Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church held a Blessing and Installation of the Cross on top of the new church in September. The cross was generously sponsored by parishioners, Tommy and Barbara Tusa. The new church is scheduled to be completed by the end of December 2021. Heavenly Father, bless Your Church with an abundance of holy and zealous priests, deacons, brothers and sisters. Give those You have called to the married state and those You have chosen to live as single persons in the world the special graces that their lives require. Form us all in the likeness of Your Son so that in Him, with Him and through Him we may love You more deeply and serve you more faithfully, always and everywhere. With Mary, we ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Prayer for Vocations
