LENTEN FISH BAKE - Friday March 27
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.

Trinity's Wolcott Hall features a newly renovated stage with new curtains in both the front and back. A rear door from off-stage opens on to a back hallway, with access to a hallway and staging room. The 1750 square foot hall provides seating for up to 90 people. A balcony area provides space for lighting and sound, along with an additional room of 200 square feet for equipment and storage. The Stage at Wolcott Hall is ideal for children's and community theater performances and can be accessed from both Laurel Avenue and the Central Avenue municipal parking lot behind the church.
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 sanctuary space provided seating for 250 in fixed, front facing benches, and is beautiful venue for concerts and recitals, weddings, funerals and memorials, and other public events. The front elevated platform (25 x 15 feet) can be used for small musical ensembles and performers. A raised pulpit provides space for public speaking. The sanctuary currently houses a concert-quality Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ and two high-quality grand pianos. The room’s acoustics are amazing for concerts and recitals, and includes a sound system with both fixed and wireless microphones. The sanctuary features fine stained glass, including one Tiffany window. A large room on the east side of the sanctuary provides spaces for staging and passage to an accessible bathroom.
Just west of the sanctuary is Trinity's St. Michael's chapel seats, which approximately 35, with access from both the exterior of the church and the sanctuary. The chapel's soft lighting creates a reflective atmosphere for small, private events, such as memorials.
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. (The pictures above are from a baby shower Trinity hosted as a part of our Migrant Ministry.) 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.
