From Father Desmond: "Rejoicing in the Faithfulness of our Lord as we celebrated Trinity's 220th Anniversary! We had approximately 80 people in attendance for the Worship Service. Several more were able to attend the Reception/Fellowship. We are grateful to John Rustin, Stacy Draper, Claire Steiner, the Women of Trinity and so many others of us who worked together for the success of the Anniversary celebrations. We certainly give God all the glory, honor and praise. We commit to being Faithful to the Lord and to each other to fulfill our parish mission."
