FAITH
IN
ACTION
Winner of more than 30 major film awards, “The Human Experience” is the story of two brothers; they are
brought into the middle of the lives of the homeless on
the streets of New York City and also visit a leper colony in Ghana and abandoned children in Peru. The
brothers are awakened to the beauty of the human person, the resilience of the human spirit, and the humanity to be found in one another. The Archdiocese of
Denver calls this “an astonishing witness [that] shouldn’t be missed.” Join us on Tuesday, February 3, 9:4510:45 a.m. in the Parish Center for film and discussion;
just follow the signs.

Stewardship Sunday
February 7 & 8, 2015
SHARE YOUR TALENTS WITH US!
The weekend of February 8 will be Stewardship Sunday in our parish. Our theme
this year is We Are an Instrument, complementing our ongoing Make Me an Instrument parish spiritual campaign. We
remind ourselves of our faith-building
campaign each week when we carry our
banner in and out of the sanctuary, and
also the encouragement we have to grow
in our faith through making an effort to
attend a daily Mass during the week, increasing our religious education and our
active stewardship—ways that we develop, enhance and share gifts that God has
given to each us. There are many important and wonderful opportunities for
involvement in our parish through our
ministries and organizations. Each of
these builds our faith community in
many ways, most notably through service
to our faith family and others, and the
meaningful relationships we develop.
Many of our parishioners participate in
one or more of our parish stewardship
groups and everyone is invited to consider how your own personal involvement
can be a faith-building and enriching experience. Visit our website at
www.holytrinity-catholic.com and click
on the “Involvement” tab at the top of the
page to see a complete list of stewardship
opportunities in our parish. You’re certain to find a stewardship activity that
appeals to you and your interests and
talents!
See you on Stewardship Sunday!

HOLY TRINITY HEALTH MINISTRY
FEBRUARY, 2015
Dear Friends:
February is Heart Health Month, Go Red for Women and Healthy Heart Living. It is also the month of
Valentine’s Day, where the heart grows strong with love for another.
WARNING SIGNS OF A HEART ATTACK: Some heart attacks are sudden and intense — the "movie heart attack," where no one doubts what's happening. But most heart
attacks start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Often people affected aren't sure what's
wrong and wait too long before getting help. Here are signs that can mean a heart attack is
happening:




Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts
more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable
pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.
Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one
or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.
Other signs may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.
As with men, women's most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or
discomfort. But women are somewhat more likely than men to experience
some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw pain. Learn about the warning signs of heart
attack in women.
LEARN THE SIGNS: but remember this: Even if you're not sure it's a heart attack, have it checked out
(tell a doctor about your symptoms). Minutes matter! Fast action can save lives — maybe your own. Don't
wait more than five minutes to call 9-1-1 or your emergency response number.
CALLING 9-1-1 is almost always the fastest way to get lifesaving treatment. Emergency
medical services (EMS) staff can begin treatment when they arrive — up to an hour sooner
than if someone gets to the hospital by car. EMS staff are also trained to revive someone
whose heart has stopped. Patients with chest pain who arrive by ambulance usually receive
faster treatment at the hospital, too. It is best to call EMS for rapid transport to the emergency room.
On February 14, St. Valentine’s Day, take time to reflect on the following:
“And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all
your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This
is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it, You
shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets." Matthew 22: 37-40
