A Historically Orthodox Catholic Church Member Congregation of the Old Catholic Communion of North America ______________________ Please Note CHRISTMAS MASS TIMES Christmas Eve 8 pm Christmas morning 10 am A Christmas Mass or a Christmas service is more than a special production or show, yet unfortunately that is exactly how it sometimes feels - something is missing - something we all yearn for and that "Someone" is Jesus Christ in flesh and blood. Only in the Most Holy Eucharist is His Real Presence known and offered to His people. All those who have been water baptized in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, have truly confessed and asked for the forgiveness of their sin are welcome to receive Holy Communion. Jesus never refused anyone who was willing to come to Him in faith and humility. Every Mass begins with an ancient Penitential Rite so that "whosoever will may come" for the forgiveness of sin, healing of body, soul, and spirit, and the opportunity to participate in what 1st-2nd Century St Ignatius of Antioch called the Eucharist: "The Food and Medicine of Immortality." Make this year' Christmas activities different Please come this Christmas Eve or Day to celebrate in and renew your faith and love in Christ Jesus in the Sacraments of the Historical Church. _______________ Welcome home - there's a place here for you too Finding the "right church" can feel overwhelming. Catholic, Protestant, or other - we have many choices. We too were looking, and so may we offer to you what we were looking for and then found at Holy Trinity?
We are not the same people we used to be, God is slowly changing us for the better. Are we done yet, no - but we know where we are going, and so we invite you to come along too. Welcome home, you'll be glad you came. Blessings on your journey. Fr. Bruce  St. Benedict said it well, "Treat every guest as if they were Jesus Christ." Hence we at Holy Trinity hold true to living in the centrality and supremacy of the love of God and the sacred traditions of the first eight centuries of the undivided Catholic Church. "That which has been believed everywhere, always, and by all" (St. Vincent of Lerins, c. 434) We hope that you will join us to celebrate the Eucharist. We trust that you will feel welcomed. According to the Nicene Creed, AD 325 & 381, all those who have been baptized into Christ are welcome to participate in Holy Communion.
