Here's the whole bunch of us... or rather some of the whole bunch!

And how are these amazing gift bags funded you may be asking? From generous donors like YOU! Your year round donations fund welcome gift bags, Christmas gift bags, visits from the Hamburger Man, one time gifts like statues, plaques and soccer goals. It's a small way to say "thank you and we prayerfully support you" to the men at HTS.

Saturday morning members of the Trinitarian Auxiliary gathered for mass and a welcome brunch with the seminarians. At brunch, Fr. Vincent Anyama welcomed auxiliary members and seminarians before everyone shared a delicious brunch.
After eating, came the fun part as gift bags were distributed. There were plenty of treats and black socks to go around. And the propaedeutic men have no excuse to be late for class, conference or mass. Each new guy got an alarm clock.
At a business meeting afterwards, the budget & calendar were discussed. Thanks to our leadership: Fr. Bryan Heyer, Cynthia Soriano & Tina Beier.

93 gift bags were stuffed full of treats, gift cards, and the invaluable black socks. In addition, propaedeutic men received alarm clocks. 93 bags x 3 tissues each = 279 fluff, twist, stuff (see demo). All were beautifully arranged for the annual welcome brunch on Saturday.

The Trinitarian Auxiliary provided delicious treats after the HTS seminarians Living Stations on Psalm Sunday. Many relaxed their Lenten observances for the occasions. And who could blame them? The treats were amazing.

Dozens and dozens and dozens of cookies (over 70 dozen) were served after the seminarians read selections from the old testament that corresponded to beautiful chants and carols sung by the schola. The O antiphons of Advent presented by the seminarians were a sweet treat, as were the cookies presented by the Trinitarian Auxiliary.
Were the young men able to finish the leftovers before the holidays?

After thoughtful shopping, wrapping and setting out gifts, The Trinitarian Auxiliary members joined the seminarians and priests for mass and brunch on St. Nicholas Day. Tables teamed up for a round of Christmas trivia (who knew Christmas tinsel was originally made of genuine silver and there are 96 "la"s in Deck the Halls?) Special gifts were shared with seminarians with winning tickets, but everyone (seminarians and priests) received a gift bags at the end. Yes! Those included the beloved BLACK SOCKS.

The group met afterwards for a brief business meeting and introduction of our newest members.

Welcome and welcome back to our HTS seminarians! Auxiliary members enjoyed mass and brunch with their prayer partners and new propaedeutic men then passed out the gift bags.

What's in the bag? Of course, black socks! (even the formators get the socks). A treat bag for the coming semester, gift cards for the discipleship men and something "alarming" for the new guys.

After brunch the auxiliary discussed membership, new "prayer partner pairings" and many other ways to support the men of HTS.

As always, thanks to everyone that donated to the gift basket fund. Donations are accepted year round as the Trinitarian Auxiliary offers year round support.
