Events
Just Faith: Gun Violence Prevention
In Person; Thursdays beginning May 1 at 6:30pm
Over the course of eight sessions and an immersion experience, Preventing Gun Violence transforms individuals into a community of trust. Participants accompany one another in confronting the painful reality of gun violence as they engage in holy dialogue across their differences and discern how their faith calls them to respond. Together, participants explore data-driven research around gun violence in America; encounter stories, poetry, and art from gun violence survivors, faith leaders, and activists; learn spiritual practices to help process this emotionally-difficult topic; and receive practical tools for gun violence prevention. During the final session, the group is guided in creating an achievable step-by-step plan for taking action after the program is finished.

Accompanying Returning Citizens
Over the past year, a group of parishioners has been exploring relationships with the Frederick Douglass Project, Freedom house and Friends of Guest House. We will continue to develop these relationships in 2025. Through the Frederick Douglass Project parishioners are invited to visit the DC Jail in person for a conversation with the incarcerated men and women.
We will participate virtually and will participate in person on May 19 from 1-3:30pm and virtually with Bent Correctional on June 2 from 6-8pm. To sign up for one or both of these gatherings, register on the website and indicate you are with Holy Trinity. If you would like to join the email list for updates on this work, please email aklick@trinity.org.
Ways to Help
Direct service allows parishioners a chance to help, which is how St. Ignatius described service – nothing lofty, simply helping and working side-by-side with others. This kind of service allows us to form relationships, show solidarity, and learn and work with others, particularly the poor and vulnerable. It also allows us to share the life that God has given us.
