The Rt. Reverend Bishop Hector Monterroso

Assistant Bishop of Texas

Sunday, February 2, 2025

10:30 a.m.


Join us this Sunday, February 2nd, as we welcome the Rt. Rev. Bishop Hector Monterroso, Assistant of Texas; and celebrate the Candidates for Confirmation and Reception at the 10:30 a.m. worship service. A reception for candidates will follow the service in Eaton Hall.

Dear Trinity Episcopal Church,


The 2025 Vestry met for our regular January meeting on Tuesday. The first order of business was the election of officers for the year. As I announced at the Parish Annual Meeting, I appointed Laura Hughes to be our Senior Warden, and the Vestry elected Olivia Meyer to serve as our Junior Warden. Generally speaking, the Senior Warden focuses on finances and personnel while the Junior Warden focuses on building maintenance and property issues. Both Laura and Olivia are faithful members of the parish, and I thank God for their willingness to serve in these roles.


The Vestry also elected John Speich as our Treasurer. John has been serving faithfully as our Treasurer for years, and his work with the staff and the Finance Committe have helped bring us to our financially healthy position. Maggie Kelso was elected as our Clerk, meaning that she records the minutes of our meetings (those minutes are available to anyone in the church). Finally, Jeanna Mascorro was elected as the Vestry representative to the Trinity School Board of Trustees.


Vestry meetings are regularly held on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 5:30 pm in the Kelso Room at Trinity and are open to the public.


Please join me in thanking all these people for stepping into greater roles of leadership!


In Christ,

Jimmy
