PPOL ON DEC. 5TH

On Wednesday, December 5th, the second year PPOL class on Boundaries is CANCELLED and the
third year PPOL class on Catechesis will start at 7.30 pm.

CHRISTMAS DINNER IN STRACHAN HALL ON DEC. 5TH

Trinity College's annual Christmas Dinner will be held on Wed., Dec. 5. As those who
have attended in years past know, this is a very popular event for the whole college.
Unfortunately, the two dining halls at St. Hilda's and Trinity are not large enough to
accommodate all students, faculty, and administrators.

This year, to help ease the crush in Strachan Hall the members of the Senior Common Room
will be dining in the Combination Room. The SCR is pleased to be able to invite up to
30 divinity students (not including those who are already SCR members) to join us for
Christmas Dinner, which will include wine and Christmas Carols. There will not be a
designated Divinity Table in Strachan Hall on Dec. 5.

If you would like to reserve a seat for Christmas Dinner on Wed., Dec. 5 with members of
the Senior Common Room, please email Matthew Cadwell by 11:00 a.m. on Tues., Dec. 4:

New Vestments for Chapel

Congratulations!

We have new vestments (hopefully more to come!)

There are six new cassocks and six new surplices, six new cassocks/albs. They are all different sizes, hopefully the six cassocks/albs will fit the various members of a team for the Community Eucharist when there are at least five students in the sanctuary. If the sizing does not work for your team, use the old albs so that everyone is dressed the same.

I will order more cassocks/albs in the new year. In the meantime it's great to be ridding ourselves of the old "Trinity Albs".

We won't be using them immediately which is a good thing because I forgot the cinctures (they are ordered).

I'm so excited!!
