Holy Trinity is a Christian faith community found in the heart of North Saanich. We seek to embrace our neighbours far and wide out of a deep gratitude for the kindness and generosity the Creator has shown us, through all the community events we host.
We strive to be a community where authentic encounters happen; where we experience a deeper sense of meaning and connection with God, our neighbours and creation as a spiritual community. Music is a crucial part of our ministry, enriching the liturgical worship of the Parish.
Holy Trinity has one Sunday Choral Eucharist service. The Organist/ Music Director, working with the Priest, is responsible for the musical aspects of worship for this service.
