The Rev. Estelle Webb
Associate for Pastoral Ministries
(203) 624-3101 ext. 24 email me
About my position:
My ministry focuses primarily on the pastoral and spiritual needs of the people of Trinity. However, I do preach in rotation with the other clergy and perform funerals, weddings, house blessings and other pastoral services. I also provide Eucharist for neighboring retirement centers and nursing homes several times a month. At least half my time is spent ministering to the elderly and handicapped of our parish through the generosity of the Trinity Home Board which has allocated funding for that purpose. For the Home Board I supervise the Conference Call Ministry, dispense discretionary funds to those in need, and help plan and provide social gatherings for our seniors several times a year. I have an STM from General Seminary in ascetical theology and am a certified spiritual director; these have helped equip me to provide spirituality and educational programs for our parishioners with a focus on nurturing continued spiritual growth and development.
People contact me about:
Information about the prayer list, hospital visits, spiritual concerns, life changing/challenging issues, Advent and Lenten Spirituality series, and Adult Confirmation.

(203) 776-2616 email me
About my position:
My primary duties involve assisting the Director of Music and Associate Director of Music in rehearsals and in accompanying and conducting the choirs during the liturgies.
