Invitations to Pray and Build Community

Trinity Faith Sharing Groups: These small faith sharing groups, which meet for eight weeks, allow parishioners a chance to meet in a small group to discuss the Sunday scriptures and the way they intersect with our lives.  Please visit the Trinity Faith Sharing webpage for more information.

Praying in Sacred Space: Lenten and Advent Saturdays, 4-5pm.  During this hour of guided prayer and faith sharing, you are invited to savor the contemplative silence and encounter the scriptures of the season in the way St. Ignatius gave us in the Spiritual Exercises. Come to one session or all — no preparation necessary. All are welcome!

Registration for the next session will be available closer to the date. 

For more information, contact Catherine Heinhold at cheinhold@trinity.org.

Lenten Simple Supper & Ignatian Prayer: March 13, 2026, Gathering 6:15PM, Supper 6:30PM, and Prayer at 7:15PM, McKenna Hall  All are invited for a simple Lenten meal of soup and bread to nourish our bodies — followed by a guided experience of Ignatian contemplation (imaginative prayer based in scripture) to nourish our souls.   Volunteers are needed for cooking, setting up, serving and cleaning up.  Parking will be available at Visitation.

Registration will open closer to the date.  Contact Catherine at cheinhold@trinity.org for more information or to volunteer.
