Parishioners from Holy Trinity and St. Joachim’s are invited to join Father Peter once again this year for a New Year’s Day Levee on Sunday, January 1st from 1pm – 3pm at our parish house at 21 Canon Street. As we begin a new year, it is a wonderful opportunity for us to get together as parishioners, and meet some of our brothers and sisters from our twinned parish.
