Holy Trinity Parish is a Roman Catholic community located in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia that gathers together to make and equip disciples who joyfully go and invite others to Jesus. Our vision for our parish can be broken down into three statements:
- Explosively alive in the Holy Spirit.
- Strengthenedin community.
- Transforming the world for Jesus.
Volunteers play an important part in our parish community, without the work of dedicated volunteers, our vision for our parish is at stake. This is why we seek skilled individuals with a heart to serve the Church to help make our vision a reality.
