Trinity Episcopal Church is a family size
parish with a congregation diverse in age and previous religious
backgrounds. The church depends solely on willing volunteers to
carry out ministries such as pastoral care, lay reading, lay
Eucharistic ministry, altar guild, teaching and governance.

With or without a priest, Eucharist is
celebrated weekly at Jenkins Living Center for Episcopal
residents and others who care to join the group. Trinity
participates in the Watertown Banquet, which, incidentally, was
started by Trinity members.

Moses, one of the Sundanese “Lost Boys” now living in Sioux
Falls, S.D., came to Watertown to study aircraft maintenance at
Lake Area Technical Institute and joined our congregation. It
was his dream to build a school in his home village in South
Sudan. Trinity became a generous part of what became a
successful diocesan project that is making Moses’ dream come
true. The village also needed clean water. Trinity members
headed a Watertown-wide fund drive for a village well. The
parish gave one tenth of the needed funds. A generous member
gave an automated corn grinder that frees girls from an arduous
primitive task and allows them to attend school.

Trinity generously supports the United
Thank Offering and gives to other church projects and
institutions. The parish provides some social events for the
community, notably a harvest dinner and a candlelight Valentine
event. Both events can boast elaborate decorations and a festive
atmosphere. Shrove Tuesday is celebrated with pancakes and a
Dixieland band.
The parish is extremely proud of
our youth and devoted leaders. For more information click on
