Funeral for David MacNair April 20

This past weekend long-time parishioner David MacNair died suddenly at his home in Newton. David had been a parishioner at Trinity his entire life, and he was beloved. David's Burial liturgy will be at Trinity on Saturday, April 20, at 1:00pm.  I hope you might be able to attend.  Please keep the soul of David, and his sisters Lois and Sharon and their families, in your prayers.

"O God of grace and glory, we remember before you this day our brother David. We thank you for giving him to us, his family and friends, to know and to love as a companion on our earthly pilgrimage. In your boundless compassion, console us who mourn. Give us faith to see in death the gate of eternal life, so that in quiet confidence we may continue our course on earth, until, by your call, we are reunited with those who have gone before; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen."  – The Book of Common Prayer, page 493

Vestry Presentation – Goals for 2024

Come and learn about the Vestry’s goals for Trinity for 2024, including the Chorister Program, the Catechumenate, identifying new and local opportunities for outreach, “intentional family building,” and maintenance projects.

Trinity Parish Continues to Follow 'Mask Friendly' Protocols

The parish vestry voted in 2022 to go "mask friendly"; that is, unless otherwise indicated, masks are optional at Trinity Parish. Please note that, pending further guidance from the Diocese and local infection rates, the church may in future return to requiring face coverings for in-person gatherings.

Centre St. Food Pantry Wish List
