Sunday, June 14 at 12:30pm, at Westville Cemetery
St. Luke’s & Trinity on the Green are hosting a joint prayer service at the graveside of Lois Tritton and her grandson Frederick. We remember the historic significance of Lois and her mother Lucy, as the last two enslaved people sold by auction on the New Haven Green. We pause in this month when we observe Juneteenth: to honor their story, to acknowledge other stories of freedom deferred, and to pray for a more just and loving future.
Join us for a short pilgrimage to the gravesite, following St. Luke’s and Trinity’s morning services. Our prayers at the gravesite will be about 30 minutes long.
How to get there: We recommend people park on Blake Street, where we will enter the cemetery by foot via a gate near 175 Blake Street (look for signage).
Accessibility: Note that there is a walk of about 150 ft over uneven terrain to get to the gravesite. Because of the location of the grave, this is the easiest way to access the site. Join us, as you are able.

The Christmas Market, known for many years as the Holiday Bazaar, exists to ensure that Trinity’s church can be enjoyed for generations to come. Held annually in the undercroft of Trinity on the Green (230 Temple Street, New Haven, CT), the Christmas Market brings together handmade crafts, plants, bulbs, cookies, jams and preserves, soups to-go, a tag sale, jewelry, and more. A labor of love by the parish, the Market will direct all proceeds to support the restoration of Trinity's much-beloved and lauded pipe organ, a 1928 Aeolian-Skinner (Op. 927, lovingly nicknamed "Sister Soosie"), which is in need of some expert attention after nearly a century of loyal service to the Trinity community.
The Christmas Market has a record of success; it is responsible for supporting the preservation and restoration of another Trinity on the Green’s aesthetic wonders: its windows. Truly a jewel in a city of architectural gems, Trinity offers the city of New Haven a unique gift: a stunning corpus of stained glass created by L.C. Tiffany Company. Installed between 1897 and 1910, Trinity’s Tiffany stained glass gradually came to reflect the decades of time, dust, and weather they had seen. Recognizing an opportunity to draw the parish and the broader New Haven community into restoration efforts, the Holiday Bazaar stepped in to rejuvenate these windows and raise funds to bring these artistic masterpieces back to their full glory.
