There is a crisis at the Mexican border. Immigrants are flowing in by the thousands. Who will care for them? Are they our neighbors? On one occasion Jesus told a scribe and others at the temple that the second greatest commandment is this, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Donald Haglund De Grasse passed away on Thursday, June 6, 2019, after a 10-month battle with inoperable brain cancer. His generous heart, sharp mind and silly sense of humor will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Former board president and board member of Trinity Center, Don was a loving presence in the Center with staff, volunteers and especially our neighbors.

School is an institution and a season — which is strange, when you think about it. Whether we’re in school, have kids in school or have nothing whatsoever to do with school, life seems to slow down at the end of May. It’s not like we’ve all gone on vacation, but enough people flee the city when school is out that the pace and traffic ease up a bit.

Todd FitzGerald’s history with Trinity Center goes way back – beginning, for all practical purposes, with the Center’s birth. After graduating from seminary in Chicago, the Louisiana native came to St. David’s Episcopal Church as curate and served from 1998 to 2000.
We are celebrating our 20th anniversary this year! It’s Trinity at Twenty!! So this year’s celebration, in memory of our generous benefactor, Barbara Jordan, will be extra special as we seek support for our programs that serve men and women experiencing homelessness. We offer compassionate care every day to help meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the people who may be invisible to others but whom we happily welcome through our doors.
