We had a relatively mild spring, but summer is here and local weather prognosticators say it’s going to be another scorcher. If it’s 95 degrees on your tree-lined street, chances are good the downtown streets are 110 or more. Looking out the windows facing 7th Street, sometimes we can see those wavy lines produced when Texas sun meets black asphalt. I’m sure it’s just my imagination, but sometimes I can even hear it sizzle!

This year’s Barbara Jordan Celebration — our one and only fundraiser — was a smashing success. Not only did we break our fundraising record, but we had more fun than we’ve ever had before! We had excellent food and beverages, a large crowd of completely engaged guests, a super-energetic new auctioneer (Heath Hale of Cowboy Auctioneer) and our very own movie premiere!
Now is the time to come to the aid of our beloved neighbors. Our annual fundraiser is just a few short weeks away, and you do not want to miss it. Tuesday, April 25! Please join us as we celebrate our awesome benefactor and raise money to help our homeless brothers and sisters. Purchase tickets here.

The purpose of a fundraiser is to raise money, obviously, but Trinity Center’s Barbara Jordan Celebration also affords us the opportunity to honor people whose extraordinary service makes us who we are — purveyors of love and hospitality. The Pat Hazel Award, named after the beloved priest who spent many years as our spiritual leader, lets us raise our glasses and give thanks as we move forward in our mission to help our homeless neighbors.

We are excited to present two Pat Hazel Awards for extraordinary service at this year’s Barbara Jordan Celebration. Father Pat, as he was lovingly known, was Trinity Center’s spiritual benefactor, a priest at St. David’s who dedicated his life to serving homeless people – especially in our little corner of downtown. Our honorees this year span Trinity’s past, present and future!
