What's happenin' in Holy Trinity?
I am here to tell you about

What on earth is
the shoe collection?
Last year Mrs.
Kallback did a thing called the shoe collection. Everyone could bring in
old tennis shoes or gym shoes. 8th graders would be at the front of the
school taking the shoes and marking down who brought them in. If you brought
at least one pair of shoes you would be able to come out of uniform. All
the shoes they got they resused by sending them into Nike. Nike then
would make balls for the less fortunate. This year she decided to do it
again and I hope all of you will consider sending in just one pair of
old useless shoes.

Don't ya just love Advent?
Hey have you
wondered what Advent is or what it is about? Do you confuse it with Lent?
Well then this is the place for you! I am here to tell you all about
Advent and what it means! It's the time to get out those purple and pink
candles. Catholics took them out yesterday or on Sunday, November 28. It
is now the time to prepare for Chirstmas, the birth of our Lord Jesus. The
candles mean something special. The three purple candles symbolize penance.
In case you didn't know what that means it means sorrow or feeling bad for
the things we have done wrong. The pink candle is used for the half-way point
in this dark time.
The green wreath is in the shape of a circle. It symbolizes God's new
life and his never ending love for us!
Lent
Lent is the 40 days before Easter. It usually is a time for going to
Mass more often or giving up something you love (it can't be school).
We fast, pray, and give up things for 40 days because that is how long
Jesus was in the desert being tempted to turn away from God by the devil.
For the Easter season we "wip our feet" in a sense before celebrating the
love Jesus showed us by dying for us on the cross and rising from the dead.
Make sure to keep in mind all the things God has done for us and will do
during those 40 days before Holy Week (just so you know Holy
Week is the week before Easter).
