Dear Parents, I am very excited to share some wonderful news with you about the future of Metanoia Youth Ministry at Holy Trinity Parish. Please join me in welcoming Tess Raymond as our new Youth Ministry Coordinator. Tess will officially begin in this role on May 17, and I could not be more excited to have her stepping into this position and continuing the mission of Metanoia Youth Ministry! Many of you already know Tess from her involvement over the past two years as one of

Deadline: June 2, 2026 Four years ago, Holy Trinity Parish launched Metanoia Youth Ministry with a simple hope: to walk with young people as they encountered Christ, formed friendships, and discovered their place in the Church. This year marks a milestone. For the first time, we are celebrating a full graduating class of Grade 12 students, many of whom have been part of Metanoia Youth Ministry since the very beginning. This scholarship exists to honour that journey. It recogn

Deadline: June 2, 2026 The Catholic Women’s League of Canada is a national organization with over 70,000 members that calls its members to grow in faith, and to witness to the love of God through ministry and service. The core values of the organization are FAITH, SERVICE, and SOCIAL JUSTICE. But first and foremost, the CWL is a sisterhood of women who want to pray, sing , worship God together, to laugh and support each other in our faith, and ultimately to effect change in o

Good Afternoon Parents & Guardians, Just a quick note to say we’re looking forward to being back together for Middle School Youth Group this Monday, March 2 from 6:30–8:00pm at Holy Trinity Parish. Since we missed our last gathering, it’ll be really good to see everyone again. If your child isn’t able to make it, just let me know. A heads up about April: because we meet on the first Monday of the month, our usual night would fall on Easter Monday this year. So instead, we’re

This past week we began our annual observance of Lent, a time for us to follow the ancient practices of Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving. We talked about Lent tonight at Youth Group and we prayed about what we could do during this season to prepare our hearts for Easter. Check out our website at metanoiaym.ca/c/lent for ideas!

Can I be real with you for a second? Right now, we are in what I like to call the “dark ages.” Those delicious Thanksgiving meals are long behind us, Christmas decorations are in the (smelly) attic, and the countdown to a new year is a distant echo. Not to mention, those New Year’s resolutions are just starting to get annoyingly difficult. That “fresh start” feeling has passed, and it seems like the stretch to spring break is uncomfortably never-ending. Insert Lenten se

February 15, 2026 Sixth Sunday of Ordinary Time Dear Youth of Holy Trinity Parish, I want to share something important with you. Since 2022, when Janna and I first started Metanoia Youth Ministry, it has been one of the greatest privileges of my life to help build this community. When we started, we didn’t fully know what it would become. But over the past few years, I’ve seen something really special take shape. I’ve seen friendships form, leaders emerge, and I’ve seen so ma

Good Afternoon Metanoia Youth Ministry Community! As we head into the weekend, we are closely monitoring the winter weather forecast and want to share an update regarding our upcoming programming. With another significant storm expected Sunday evening, we are making a few adjustments to ensure the safety of our youth, families, and volunteer leaders. Please review the details below for this weekend’s schedule, along with an explanation of why these decisions were made. Monday

Dear Parents, This weekend we concluded our series Created & Claimed where we talked a lot about our Identity as Children of God. We talked about how we were Made Good in God’s image and likeness and that He has created us for relationship with Him and each other. We talked about how Sin separates us from God, and how Jesus comes to restore that relationship - that essential identity that we are children of God. Over the past four weeks we’ve been writing our own litany of id

Middle School Youth Group will be cancelled tonight, December 1, 2025. We will be back on January 12, 2025!

Dear Parents, This week we dive into what a saint is and is not, breaking down any misconceptions about sainthood. We use the following definition from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops: “Saints are persons in heaven (officially canonized or not), who lived heroically virtuous lives, offered their lives for others, or were martyred for the faith, and who are worthy of imitation.” Consider asking your teen these questions to continue processing what was discusse

Pope Saint John Paul II Saint John Paul II was born Karol Józef Wojtyła on May 18, 1920, in Wadowice, Poland. He lived a life filled with faith, courage, and love. His story reminds us that even in the face of suffering, God can bring something beautiful and world-changing. From a young age, Karol knew loss. His mother, brother, and father all passed away before he turned 21. Yet in the middle of that pain, he grew closer to God. During the Nazi occupation of Poland, he worke

Carlo’s greatest dream wasn’t to be rich or famous; it was to be holy. “To be always united to Jesus,” he wrote at just seven years old, “this is my life plan.” That simple plan shaped everything he did. Carlo kept “daily appointments” with God, small, consistent habits that anchored his life in grace and joy.

Born in Poland in 1905, Saint Faustina was chosen as one of our patron saints of Metanoia Youth Ministry because of her deep connection to the Divine Mercy of Jesus. 💗 Through her visions and writings, Jesus revealed to her His message of mercy — that His
