Bishop's Statement

on the passing of

The Rt. Rev. Clarence Nicholas Coleridge

(b. November 27, 1930 – d. August 10, 2023)

August 10, 2023

Dear Beloved in Christ,

I write to share the sad news that Bishop Clarence Coleridge (Thirteenth Bishop Diocesan of Connecticut, 1993-1999, Bishop Suffragan 1981-1993) died this morning. He was 92 years-old.

I was able to visit with Bishop Coleridge recently, and I am grateful to Bishop Ahrens and Bishop Smith for their presence with him in recent days. Arrangements will be published when they are finalized.

Please hold his daughters, Cheryl and Caroline, in your prayers. May the soul of Bishop Coleridge, and the souls of all the departed, through the mercies of God, rest in peace and rise in glory.

Yours in Christ,

+Jeff 

The Rt. Rev. Jeffrey W. Mello                

Bishop Diocesan                  

Church by the Pond on August 19

Trinity's next opportunity to participate in this ministry led by Christ Church Cathedral is Saturday, August 19.

• We'll meet in the Trinity kitchen at 12:30 pm to prepare bag lunches, entering though the outside door to the kitchen.
• At 1:45 pm we'll bring those lunches to Bushnell Park, where we'll participate in the worship service by the pond, led by Rev. D. as the celebrant.
• We'll distribute our lunches and personal care items following the service, and finish around 3:00 pm.

All parishioners and families are welcome. Masks and social distance protocols are not required at this time, but optional for all volunteers.

Questions? Feel free to contact Percy Williamson or Penny Pearson. 

Annual Backpack Collection Most Appreciated!

Thanks to your generosity, Trinity was able to present 30 backpacks to the Adopt A Social Worker program of Covenant to Care for Children, to be given to Hartford Middle School students in need. Thank you so much for your support of this ministry!

Day by Day Update

The following was published on the Day by Day website regarding the August Print edition:

In late July, after the printed August Forward Day by Day meditations had been distributed, their author was arrested and charged with behavior that harmed a young child. We are grieved at this upsetting situation and offer our prayers for everyone affected, especially the child and her family.

We regret any difficulty this unforeseen situation may cause our print readers. Our staff is working diligently to remove all material by this author from our website and replace it with devotions from our archives.

Each week Trinity will print copies from the Day by Day August archives and make those archival copies available to those who took a booklet.

If you have further questions, please reach out to Rev. D.
