Dedication and Commemoration for

Lucy and Lois Tritton

& their Descendants

Sunday, June 14 at 12:45pm

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.

We hope that many will join us in a short pilgrimage to the gravesite, following Trinity’s 10:30am service. Details and directions to the gravesite are forthcoming.
