Welcome to Holy Trinity Orthodox Church

The Holy Trinity Church community welcomes visitors and friends to join us for worship and fellowship. Although we are a small community, our parish has developed a reputation for receiving and welcoming visitors with great warmth and open arms. Please be sure to fill out a Welcome Card when you arrive, so that our pastor can acknowledge your presence during the announcements at the conclusion of Divine Liturgy. Also indicate if you would like to have the Weekly Bulletin emailed to you.

We have several young families in our community, and in addition we are deeply connected to the University of Connecticut's Orthodox Christian Fellowship (UConn OCF). Following Sunday Divine Liturgy, we invite our visitors to join us for Coffee Hour where light refreshments are served. We look forward to your visit, and ask God to bless you for all the days of your life. We invite you to 'Come' and 'See.' Welcome Packets are also available and will be mailed upon request.

All services are in English.

Reflections on Zacchaeus Sunday...

The story of Zacchaeus is quite familiar (Luke 19:1-10). There is no need to repeat it. What is perhaps most notable about Zacchaeus is not simply his desire to change, or even that he struggled to change, but ultimately he resolved to stay changed.


Student Information & Timeline of Church History Postcards

A Student Information & Timeline of Church History Postcards have recently been produced for Holy Trinity Church by Mr. Tony W. Core of Reynoldsburg, Ohio. The Student Information Card is 6 x 11 with five color photos on the front. On the back, a list of the ministries a person can become involved with as a member of Holy Trinity is detailed, along with our iconostas and directions to the church. It is a perfect card for our University of Connecticut Orthodox Christian Fellowship students to share with their college friends. The 4 x 6 Church History Timeline Card, printed on a black background, details the history of the Orthodox Church from the Day of Pentecost through the canonization of the North American Saints in the year 2000.

To receive a copy of each of these two beautiful post cards, please contact Fr Marc at: marc.vranes@comcast.net
