As we prepare for Thanksgiving and the holiday season, thoughts naturally turn towards reasons to be grateful. Looking back over the past year, we are reminded of the many reasons why we are deeply thankful for you. Through your faithfulness and generosity, and with God's help, the parish of Trinity Church has continued to be a beacon of hope and an embodiment of Christ's love in Boston.
Thank you for showing up, stepping up, and looking up -- and for being Trinity Church.
And for all things, thanks be to God.
Wishing you every blessing,
The staff of Trinity Church

| Vestry News |
The Standing Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts has approved our Vestry's request to sell the new rectory on Beacon Hill. The Vestry's decision to sell was made after prayerful consideration over many months, and after sharing the options at the recent Parish Update and in the Fall 2017 issue of
Trinity Life. The Diocese requires that all net proceeds from the sale be restricted to provide future housing for the rector.
