I want to thank each and every one of you who supported in me in my Senior Project this year. The sale of gumbo and chili exceeded my expectations. It was a huge success. My goal of $1,200 was reached and then some. The acolytes will get new stained-glass crosses to wear while serving at the services at Trinity. Your generosity was amazing. I am proud to be a member and acolyte at Trinity Church.

Thanks again, Max Patane,

Senior at O'Connell College Prep

WINTER BOOK CLUB

“Say it to God: In Search of Prayer”

Wednesdays through December 17

4:30 p.m. Kelso Room

"Say it to God: In Search of Prayer." The author, Luigi Gioia, is a former Roman Catholic monk and is now a priest in the Episcopal Church. He had a very powerful presentation at our clergy conference, and this book will be more spiritual in nature (rather than historical or academic). 

We will gather on Wednesdays at 4:30pm each week in the Kelso Room, and will meet on Wednesdays through December 17 (skipping the Wednesday before Thanksgiving Day). 

Meets the 2nd Sunday of the Month

9:15 a.m.
