Our Outreach

Preserving a strong outreach program is important to Trinity. In addition to the annual diocesan donation, supporting the Presiding Bishops Fund and the United Thank Offering. Trinity also gives to local faith-based organizations and charities, such as the Epiphany School for inner city children, Interfaith AIDS Ministries, the Newton Food Bank and the Pelham Street House for low-income seniors.

Our Outreach Activities

Trinity’s most steadfast outreach effort continues to be with the Salvation Army Center in Framingham, MA. The parish is responsible for buying, preparing and serving a meal at the Center the second Monday for eight months of the year (our sister church, St. Paul’s of Newton Highlands, serves the other four months). Called the “Miracle Kitchen” by its clientele—the homeless, jobless, and working poor—this service has continued for almost 10 years and involves 15 or so parishioners, including young children and teenagers. The members of Trinity welcome this opportunity both to instill charity in their children and to serve the needs of others, wherever God is calling us to serve and to do His work.

Some members equipped book-bags for the Epiphany School or tutored at the school. Others work in a Boston program that mails books to prisoners. Still others engage in efforts, such as collecting signatures for the Greater Boston Interfaith Organization’s MassACT ballot initiative to expand health care for the poor.

Fellowship at Trinity extends to our outreach work, too. Trinity’s teens shot hoops in the church gym and raised money for Second Step, a shelter for abused women and children. One teen, who plays bass guitar in a local high-school band, organized a battle-of-the-bands benefit concert in the gym for victims of hurricane Katrina. He persuaded four other bands from the Newton high schools to participate. The event raised funds for the American Red Cross’s hurricane relief efforts and was featured in the Newton Tab and the Boston Globe.

Beyond the local community, last year, we also sponsored teenagers from the parish to help build a computer center in the impoverished Central American country of Belize.
