The Holy Trinity Bereavement and Support Group was begun in 1990 to fulfill a need for parish members and other area people experiencing the loss of a loved one. Our purpose is to provide a confidential and friendly setting to talk, share, express our feelings, and support each other on our grief journey. Our group visits the spouse or family several weeks after the death of their loved one to if we can be of any help through their grief process. A packet of reading material is available to help them through their every stage of grief. We also share dinner the third Thursday of every month.
Holy Trinity Church has a childcare program each Sunday during the 10:30 A.M. Mass. The program offers adult-supervised childcare for children (infants - preschoolers) in the church basement.

Couples planning marriage meet with a married couple who are trained to work with our engaged couples. There are usually two meetings. During the first meeting the young couple each completes a form on areas of concern. After these forms are scored by the Archdiocesan office, the young couple again meet with their facilitator couple to discuss areas of concern as shown by their answers. If interested in being a facilitator couple, please contact Father Walling.
Marriage Encounter is a program to make a good marriage better. The weekend allows a married couple to focus completely on each other - no group sharing takes place.
