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.
In 2007, the Board voted to give support to 15 agencies and groups which actively work with seniors or provide programs for seniors. The Home Board also supports the Conference Call expenses, 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.
During 2007, a brunch was held at the Rusty Scupper restaurant and a lunch at the New Haven Country Club. A day's outing occurred in August when seniors traveled to Essex for a ride on the Essex steam train and a riverboat ride on the Connecticut River near East Haddam. The day ended with a late lunch at Bill's Seafood Restaurant in Clinton. The year ended with a special Christmas tea held at Whitney Center and entertainment provided by Walden Moore at the piano. The Board hopes to do other interesting and fun programs during 2008.
