It’s all about Family

Family encompasses many names… Friends, Kith, Kin, Tribe, Clan.

Focus on fond memories of family… share with others!

Food is an important memory… share family recipes. Make one and share with someone!

A Prayer for Your Family

Lord, bless my family and children. Give them hearts that follow after you. Give my family the strength to not be afraid. Give them the courage to stand up for what is right. Produce within them an attitude of integrity, giving their lives to giving you glory. Protect each family member under the shadow of your wings. Lord, help us to find our strength in you. Increase our unity and peace as we seek to follow after you. Amen.

We gratefully acknowledge with respect the Seneca Nation of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, whose ancestral lands the Town of Greece and the City of Rochester now occupy. We encourage every member of our community to learn about the indigenous communities who make their home here today and to work for indigenous rights and justice.


Trinity Episcopal Church is committed to being an open and affirming church that welcomes LGBTQIA+ people into full participation in the life and leadership of our congregation. We recognize the unique blessings and gifts that the LGBTQIA+ community bring to the Church, and we acknowledge that our spiritual lives are more full, more vibrant, and more whole when all are included at the table, in service, and in leadership.

We recognize that LGBTQIA+ people have historically been excluded from full participation in Christian communities. This exclusion has caused demonstrative harm. Therefore, we are intentional in our invitation and welcome to this marginalized group. We seek to restore justice, learn from our past and those we have historically ostracized, and heal God’s beloved community.
