We have had an awesome start to Campus Ministry this year…

*We are so grateful for the many donations to our new Campus Ministry Center of coffee, snacks, videos and furniture.

*Thus far we have had the juniors peer-lead the annual freshmen retreat and the seniors peer-lead the annual sophomore retreat.

*We began a year-long commitment to weekly service and ministry of serving dinner to the elderly at New Horizons. Though this is a Campus Ministry event, alternating members of Trinity Staff will chaperone four students every Wednesday.

*Campus Ministry sent a team of 18 students to help clean up at the Bishop’s Reception at Saint Pius X.

*Trinity celebrated our Lasallian Founder with a special Mass in honor of Saint John Baptiste de Lasalle on Friday, September 8th.

*On September 9, Campus Ministry hosted a Freshmen Mixer at Lakeside Lanes for the entering freshmen to get to know one another a little better.

*On September 11, we began a program called “Manic Mondays” wherein Campus Ministry will stay open on any normal scheduled day and offer snacks, refreshment, games, and an atmosphere of fellowship for any student wishing to participate until 5pm.

*On September 13, we had our Opening Liturgy and kicked-off our annual Food Drive to support NH Food Bank and Catholic Charities.

*On September 17, members of the hockey team set up, the girl’s soccer team ran the face painting booths, and the football team broke down the annual Saint Anthony’s Parish Picnic for father Richard Dion.

*On September 22, freshmen will attend their second mixer at SkyZone of Manchester.

*On the weekend of September 23-24, Mr. Thibodeau will join 10 students in cleaning up Louden as a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity.

Looking ahead, to October we have a plethora of events to look forward to in addition to our weekly Manic Monday, Wednesday service at New Horizons and Families in Transition…

*October 3, we will celebrate God’s creatures with the Blessing of the Animals on the front lawn.

*October 16, Campus Ministry is sponsoring a Blood Drive and we will begin weekly class Mass in  the chapel.

*October 17,  students have signed up to play games with residents of St Teresa’s nursing home.

*ALSO on October 16-17, THS juniors and seniors will peer-lead retreats for saint Joseph Regional Junior High.
