> There’s still time to launch a Trinity House Community Group at your parish this fall! With the launch of our parish-based model, any parish can access all the tools needed to host 5 Gatherings for families in 2023-2024, including videos, discussion questions, marketing templates, catechetical resources, ongoing support, and more.
Participants share with us that they are blessed by the vision and framework of family life, the practical strategies, the friendships they build with other couples, and the enjoyment their kids have. Watch our one-minute trailer video and learn more here. Schedule a 15-min. demonstration to learn more at our calendar here!
“This is an important ministry for families in any parish.”
