Chesapeake Bay Fishing Trip
|
Parishioners and friends joined Bishop
Tony for the annual Chesapeake Bay
fishing trip. The Holy Trinity
crew boarded the 42- foot Uncle Roy
and left the Rod and Reel Dock in
Chesapeake Beach, Maryland at 1:00.
The weather was beautiful (except for
a brief afternoon thunderstorm
that the captain avoided).
Everyone enjoyed socializing between
fish strikes. Eleven people
caught rockfish and all were of legal
size -- greater than 18 inches.
Back at the dock, the first mate made
quick work of the fish and everyone
left with some filleted rockfish.

Grand Chili
Cook Off
Holy
Trinity parishioners met on Saturday, January
26, 2008 for the annual Chili Cook Off.
Eleven delicious entries were available for
tasting. Diners found it difficult to
decide on which was the best, since all were
so spicy and tasty. Nonetheless after
the voting was done, three emerged as the
best. After judging, parishioners ate
their fill of chili and enjoyed an evening of
socializing. Proceeds will be used
to support future church activities.
