Compline by Candlelight

Sundays, 7–7:30pm in Trinity Church 

Please note: St. Paul’s Chapel is closed October 1–31. Compline by Candlelight will be held in Trinity Church during the month of October, and will return to St. Paul’s Chapel beginning Sunday, November 1, 2026. 

Experience the beauty and stillness of Compline — an evening prayer service passed down through centuries and sung by Trinity Choir. Come and find comfort in our connection to the divine and one another as we end the day. There’s nothing to do but be present.  

Compline audio recordings are released every Sunday on Apple Podcasts and other podcast platforms.

Your Words Brought to Life

You’re invited to a one-of-a-kind Compline by Candlelight service on November 1. Join us for A Haven, a musical experience created in community and performed by special guest composer John Glover, pianist Adam Tendler, and baritone Michael Kelly alongside Trinity Choir.

We need you to bring it to life. Tell us: What’s a place that’s made you feel safe? A person who’s made you feel seen? A sound or song that’s made you feel like you belong? Call or text 929-325-1394 by October 15 to share your thoughts.  

Crafted from our contributions especially for Compline at Trinity, this reflective work explores the power of connection and the safety we find by joining in harmony our unique experiences, perspectives, and voices.

Compline Service

Compline by Candlelight provides peace and stillness as one week ends and another begins. There’s nothing to do but listen, breathe, and be.
