Hildebrand Family Self- Help Center 's Holiday Gift Drive
Thank you so much for all of the generous donations to our Holiday Drive that were dropped off yesterday! We're so appreciative of Trinity Parish's contributions and we are excited to distribute the gifts at our upcoming annual "Holiday Market," where parents and caregivers living in shelter at Hildebrand will select items for their little ones. Thank you again!
Christmas Memorials
If you would like to make a memorial contribution toward the purchase of Trinity’s Christmas poinsettias, please pick up a Christmas memorial envelope from the Narthex. For names to be included in the Christmas Eve order of service, envelopes must be received in the parish office by Wednesday, December 18.
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.
