Three sisters of the Society of St. Margaret live and work in the parish of Trinity Church Wall Street: Sister Gloria Shirley, Sister Ann Whittaker, and Sister Promise Atelon. Sister Promise also serves as priest and celebrant in services throughout the week — including Contemplative Eucharist on Wednesdays. This complements her work with Trinity’s Pastoral Care team to support the spiritual needs of the Trinity community.

Where will our corporate and personal observances and meditations this Holy Week take us? Will our journey continue, and will we arrive at new life with Jesus next Sunday, and then continue further?
Palm Sunday is a collision of emotions as “Hosannas” give way to “Crucify Him,” with the journey between those two extremes being the subject of many a sermon and Bible study lesson. This past Sunday, tween parishioners led us on this journey, with theatrical storytelling across seven stations, a “pilgrimage” from the church to the churchyard to Trinity Commons, and back again, bringing scenes from the Passion story to life for family and friends.
