OPEN MIC @ TRINITY

DELIVERS DIVERSE ENTERTAINMENT

AND BUILDS COMMUNITY!

Open Mic @ Trinity was another wonderful event! The headliner Brianna Ortiz performed original songs as well as some covers of Radiohead and Maroon 5. We also heard poetry, folk music, country music, pop music, a sea shanty, a human beatbox (yes, you read that correctly - a human beatbox), and a bagpiper! The local talent included Trinity's own Joyce Gustavson and Payton Turpin.

Some performers spoke of being in recovery from from alcohol and drugs, while one mentioned their struggles with PTSD - much more than music was shared on this very emotional evening.

The next Open Mic @ Trinity will be Saturday April 15 at 7pm with the headliner Adelaide Punkin, a talented teen from Torrington! Finish your taxes, grab some dinner downtown, and enjoy an evening of song, spoken word, and community!

Saint of the Week - Oscar Romero

(August 15, 1917 - March 24, 1980)

Archbishop Oscar Romero of El Salvador was a man of peace who spoke out against violence and social injustice. He was assassinated while celebrating mass.

Below are some quotes from him.

Peace is not the product of terror or fear.

Peace is not the silence of cemeteries.

Peace is not the silent result of violent repression.

Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all.

Peace is dynamism.

Peace is generosity.

It is right and it is duty.

There are not two categories of people. There are not some who were born to have everything and leave others with nothing and a majority that has nothing and can’t enjoy the happiness that God has created for all. God wants a Christian society, one in which we share the good things that God has given for all of us.

Here there is a challenge from Christ to the goodness of humankind. It is not enough to be good. It is not enough to not do evil. My Christianity is something more positive; it is not a negative. There are many who say, “But I don’t kill, I don’t steal, I don’t do anything bad to anyone.” That’s not enough. You are still lacking a great deal. It is not enough to be good.

When the church hears the cry of the oppressed, it cannot but denounce the social structures that give rise to and perpetuate the misery from which the cry arises.

There are many things that can only be seen through eyes that have cried.

I do not believe in death without resurrection. If they kill me, I will rise again in the people of El Salvador.

Almighty God, you called your servant Óscar Romero to be a voice for the voiceless poor, and to give his life as a seed of freedom and a sign of hope: Grant that we, inspired by his sacrifice and the example of the martyrs of El Salvador, may without fear or favor witness to your Word who abides, your Word who is Life, even Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be praise and glory now and for ever. Amen.
