For over 20 years now, the Greater Massena

Ministerial Council (GMMA) has sponsored and

organized the SOS Walk to support our local food pantries and

hunger initiatives.

This Sunday is the day for this year’s SOS Walk (more in-

formation elsewhere in the bulletin!). Thanks to everyone who

has been so kind and generous so as to sponsor me as a walker in

Sunday’s event. If you haven’t had a chance to sponsor me, you

can after Masses, or just call and stop by at the rectory. Or bet-

ter yet—join the SOS Walk yourself, or sponsor your relatives

or friends. Last year, St. Vincent DePaul provided more than

230,000 meals—add in the Neighborhood Center and Salvation

Army and the number gets up to almost 400,000. They’ll all

benefit from the SOS Walk - so thanks again!

- Fr. Mark Reilly

As the Bishop's Fund Appeal continues, we ask you to

prayerfully consider giving to this important fund! Why? It

affects Trinity Catholic and our students directly. Each of

our students who qualifies for the Tuition Assistance Pro-

gram receives approximately $620 per year, with over 35

students at TCS and 351 students diocesan-wide, receiving

this much-needed aid. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Share the Wisdom/Grandparents Day

Trinity Catholic is excited about Share the Wisdom/

Grandparents Day, which will be happening Wednesday,

October 26.

Guests may arrive 8:30-9:00 and meet for coffee and an

overview of the morning in the Dining Hall. Guests will

then pick up students and bring them to Sacred Heart

Church for a Prayer Service at 9:15. Following the Service,

guests and students will head back to the school, where they

can pick and choose which stations they would like to

visit. These stations include the Book Fair, Brunch (which

should be paid for ahead of time), Heritage, Reading, Fam-

ily Quilt, Photo “Booth,” Chapel, Arts and Crafts, and

Moving in the Gym. The day ends at 11:30 with dismissal

for all students. This is always a favorite day at Trinity and

they look forward to seeing all of their wise guests! Many will also be excited to hear that the school’s world-

famous peanut butter bars will be available for purchase in

the Dining Hall!

WORLD MISSION SUNDAY

COLLECTION THIS WEEK There was/is some confusion about the annual

World Mission Sunday second collection. The enve-

lope users may have found that it had last week’s date

on the WMS Collection envelope . . . But the Bishop’s

letter and other promotional materials stated that the

collection is to take place this weekend. Our second

collection this weekend will benefit the missions

through our Diocesan Mission Office. We are sorry

for the confusion—if you dropped your envelope into

the collection last week, thanks! You can be sure it

will go to benefit the missions. If you aren’t ready to

participate in this week’s second collection, you’re

most welcome to drop your WMS collection envelope

in a future weekend’s collection and it will be directed

to our Mission Office. Thank you for your generosity

in supporting Catholic Missionaries throughout the

world!

FAITH FORMATION NEWS
