In lieu of our usual Sunday morning worship at Trinity, we will join the community of St. Luke's Episcopal Church (111 Whalley Ave, New Haven, CT 06511) in celebration of their Patronal Feast Day.

St. Luke's is a predominantly African American/Caribbean congregation and the fourth oldest Episcopal Church in the United States. As we celebrate St. Luke's Patronal Festival together, we also reflect on the shared history that led a group of Black parishioners to leave Trinity and found their own church in 1844. This joint worship service is an expression of the ongoing work of racial justice and reconciliation between both congregations.
