The Job Seekers' Ministry at Holy Trinity is a support group for people who are unemployed primarily due to the most recent economic downturn.  The group has been meeting weekly since January 2001 when our then pastor, Fr. Bill Byron, S.J., took an interest in ministering to those who were undergoing changes in careers and employment.  His book, Finding Work without Losing Heart, is located on the Holy Trinity website and has been a source of good practical information for many of our parishioners looking for work.

The group has grown as the job market continues to be affected by a poor economy.  The sessions are grounded in prayer, but also address practical issues of resume building, interviewing techniques and networking as part of the group's mission.  Some members of the group have been blessed with success in finding jobs, but still others need your help.  In one gospel story, Jesus invites Peter, Andrew, James and John to follow him and be his disciples.  

Many parishioners have already assisted in helping our Job Seekers.  They have donated resources to our library on how to find employment and some have come to address the group and offered practical and technical information on how to approach the current job market.  We are indebted to their generosity and welcome any other volunteers who are able to provide pertinent job searching information.
