Free ARTEMIS concert this Sunday 10/18 at 3:00pm
With a joyful spirit and deep grounding in our local history, Trinity Episcopal Church serves the diverse needs of our North Shore community with hospitality and generosity.
Trinity seeks to make our historic and beautiful campus available for community use in ways that reflect our mission to nourish community connectedness, the arts, and the human spirit. We host concerts, theatrical performances, recitals, memorials, and other celebrations and passages in our sanctuary and parish hall. We seek to partner especially with not-for-profits to provide affordable venues for functions, and with individuals to provide a place to celebrate life events and memorials. Our affordable building use fees help maintain Trinity's historic campus as resource and gathering place for our community.

WOLCOTT SET UP FOR MEETINGS
DINING ROOM
Trinity's recently renovated Wolcott Hall provides 1750 square feet of open space, with access to both Laurel Avenue and the public parking lot behind Trinity Church. The hall can seat approximately 90 for performances and can accommodate 75 for other events, such as dinners, fundraisers, and galas. The space features a decorative fireplace and access to a balcony area with an additional 200 square feet. The space can be set up for a performance or lecture with up to 90 chairs. Trinity has five round and five rectangular high-quality plastic folding tables and 40 high-quality plastic folding chairs, along with 60 additional metal chairs. Four rectangular wooden tables can accommodate food and drinks or other materials for events.
The west end of Wolcott Hall opens onto Trinity’s dining room (approximately 30 x 20 feet), which also provides access to a storage room with plastic and metal chairs, and round and rectangular tables. Beyond the dining room is catering-ready kitchen with a new refrigerator and separate freezer, large gas stove with two ovens, two sinks, and a domestic-grade dishwasher. A center island and ample counter space provides space for food preparation for medium-size events of up to 100 people. A passthrough provides easy access to the dining room.
Trinity’s beautiful sanctuary offers a welcoming and memorable setting for concerts, recitals, weddings, funerals and memorials, and other public events. With seating for approximately 250 guests in comfortable, fixed, forward-facing benches, the sanctuary provides an inviting space for gatherings of many kinds.
At the front of the sanctuary, an elevated 25-by-15-foot platform provides space for small musical ensembles and performers. A raised pulpit offers a distinctive setting for speakers and presentations. The sanctuary is home to a concert-quality Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ and two high-quality grand pianos, making it particularly appealing for musical performances.
The sanctuary’s exceptional acoustics enhance both music and spoken presentations. A sound system includes fixed and wireless microphones, as well as a T-Coil system compatible with hearing devices, helping ensure that everyone can participate fully in the event.
Beautiful stained-glass windows fill the sanctuary with color and character. A rose window above the choir and organ loft creates a striking architectural feature, while a large stained-glass window behind the altar extends across the full width of the wall creates a distinctive focal point for the sanctuary. The sanctuary also features a Tiffany window among its many distinctive stained-glass details.
The sanctuary’s layout also provides convenient spaces for event preparation and accessibility. A spacious room on the east side of the sanctuary can be used for staging and preparation and provides access to an accessible bathroom.
For smaller and more intimate gatherings, Trinity’s St. Michael’s Chapel offers a peaceful and inviting alternative. Located just west of the sanctuary, the chapel seats approximately 35 people and has convenient access from both outside the church and from the sanctuary.
With its soft lighting, narrow stained glass windows and intimate scale, St. Michael’s Chapel provides a warm, reflective atmosphere for small private events, including memorials and other gatherings where a more personal setting is desired.
Trinity’s Guild Room--once the sewing room for church members--is a well-appointed 800 square foot space with a large table, couch, and seating for around 20 people. The well-lit room is accessible from Laurel Avenue and Wolcott Hall, and is suitable for smaller gatherings, board meetings, and receptions, or as overflow from larger events, for example, to provide space for a silent auction. An accessible restroom is available a few feet outside Wolcott Hall.
A door from the Guild Room leads to the church's former library, a 300-square-foot room accessible from Wolcott Hall and the interior hallway leading to the restroom. The library includes storage cupboards and counter space, and could be used as a staging and resource room for events in the Guild Room or Wolcott Hall.
Trinity’s upstairs office wing is accessible from two staircases, one opening onto the public parking lot behind Trinity, the other from the east building entrance facing Laurel Avenue. The south end of the wing features an office suite, with one large office of 250 square feet with a separate bathroom and storage. The large office opens into a reception area and office space of about 200 square feet, with a smaller office for a copy machine and other office support. A third independent office of about 120 square feet is adjacent to the office support room. Three further individual office-style rooms, each of about 100 square feet, follow along the east side of the hallway. These spaces are available for use as offices for not-for-profit organizations, practice rooms, or counseling spaces.
