Annual Stewardship Campaign Begins
From Tuesday’s email
… We recall that we are stewards of God’s gifts, temporary yet trusted caretakers, and that we are invited to use these gifts to further God’s work in the world – right here, right now, at Trinity Church in the City of Boston. Each fall, we commit our financial gifts for Trinity’s upcoming year of ministry. We “pledge” to give as generously to God’s church as we have received generously from God’s hand. By our pledges, all of us have an important share in every aspect of Trinity Church…
… And, tell your story with a Gracious Lives Testimonial at trinitychurchboston.org/graciouslives. You’ll be guided through a series of eight brief prompts, taking fewer than 5 minutes to complete on average. You’ll have the option to choose whether your response might be shared with the parish, either with your full or partial name or anonymously, and whether we might include your photo along with your response. We hope to hear from MANY of you whose lives have been graced by the ministries of Trinity Church; tell your story here.

Bring in Photos for Chapel of Remembrance
Join us in creating our Chapel of Remembrance for All Souls' Day
You are invited to bring in photos of those you love, but see no longer, to place in the Chapel in the Undercroft this Sun., Oct. 26 (All Souls' Sunday) through Sun., Nov. 2 (All Saints' Sunday). Please drop off your item at the Front Desk in the Parish House (at the 206 Clarendon Street entrance) until 9 am on All Souls' Day; after that time you can bring them directly to the Chapel through 12 noon.
The Chapel will be lit and open during regular working hours during the week, and open again on Sunday, All Saints' Day, when you can reclaim your photo. Please, do not leave any irreplaceable items, and identify them with name and contact information (there is a basket with all helpful materials for this at the Front Desk!). In addition, we will have materials for adding names to the Chapel in lieu of photos. Please be in touch with Kit, klonergan@trinitychurchboston.org, with any questions.

Submit Names for All Souls’ Day
The Church observes the Commemoration of the Dead, known as All Souls’ Day; this year, it will be observed on Sun., Oct. 26, when our services will resemble a funeral mass, inclusive of portions of Coleridge’s Requiem.
These services will also include a spoken Necrology at each service, naming those who have died in the past year, and those who have died and who are close to the hearts of our parishioners. We invite you to add the names of loved ones you would like us to include in the Necrology this year by using this form.
Please know that if you submitted a name of a deceased loved for the Sunday Intercessions since December of 2024, they are already included. If you have any questions, please be in touch with Kit, klonergan@trinitychurchboston.org.
