Trinity Church NYC

Though our most recent Trinity Leadership Fellows cohort has departed NYC, our participants and alumni are still working hard. The Rev. Dr. Jarred Mercer, a Trinity Leadership Fellow alumnus, was featured in an uplifting piece by WBUR on his continued work to create housing opportunities for newly arrived Afghan families. With a dedicated team of parishioners at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Newburyport, MA, Rev. Mercer demonstrates creativity and resourcefulness to move newly arrived migrants from a church basement to a permanent home.

Here's what it looks like when a neighborhood comes together for the common good! ?? Trinity’s Neighborhood Council is an advisory group of nonprofit leaders, community organizers, policymakers, and residents who work with us to advance the well-being of Lower Manhattan. Last week, the Council’s 21 current members gathered for a dynamic conversation about the emotional well-being and mental health of our neighborhood. They then joined past Council members, partner organizations, and Trinity staff to make new connections and share their goals for the coming year. We’ve made amazing strides in the past, and we’re looking forward to all we can achieve together in the future!

“The patience required for navigating these fraught times isn’t always easy to summon,“ says the Rev. Phil Jackson, ”but it’s the kind of love God asks us to embody — seeing one another not as enemies, but as friends.” https://ow.ly/4N0M50TCcBn
