Trinity Home Board
The Trinity Home Board [was] created for the purpose of aiding the elderly, needy and others whom the Board considers entitled to its benefits..." To carry out this statement of purpose, the Home Board has an endowment whose interest it dispenses through the year in various ways.
The Home Board also picks up the weekly Conference Call expenses that allows shut ins to hear services, supports the salaries of parish workers who devote time to the elderly, and provides discretionary funds to be used for parishioners with special needs. In addition, money is used for senior programs throughout the year.
The Home Board also supports physical improvement to make the church more accommodating to seniors. Projects funded recently by the Home Board include the handicap access elevator, an advanced PA system, extra handrails for the staircases, and headsets that allow hearing impaired parishioners to hear the services.
Program events for seniors include senior lunches twice a year, all day outings to sites of interest, lectures on topics of interest to seniors, and a special Christmas tea held at Whitney Center.
The Trinity Church Home Board grew out of the Trinity Church Home Association, incorporated by the Connecticut General Assembly in 1862; it was “created for the purpose of establishing and maintaining in the city of New Haven, refuge for the poor and friendless members of Trinity Parish, and such others as the board of managers may think entitled m its benefits.” Above is a phonograph of the Trinity Home at 84 Norton Street, where in the days before social security elderly members of the parish could find a refuge in their old age. It was the sale of this house and other donations funded the Trinity Home Board endowment.
