Holy Trinity Episcopal Church of Covina  is located at the corner of Third Street and Badillo Avenue, 1 block West of Citrus Avenue in downtown Covina, California.  We are a part of Deanery 6 in the Diocese of Los Angeles.

On Sunday mornings, we have Holy Communion (Eucharist) in traditional language at 8:00 a.m. and Holy Communion in contemporary language with music at 10:00 a.m. During the 10:00 a.m. service there is Sunday School for children ages 3 through the fifth grade and child care for infants and toddlers in the nursery. Following the 10:00 a.m. service is a lively Coffee Hour in the Parish Hall which you won't want to miss.

There is a mid-week Eucharist at 10:00 a.m. followed by a Bible or spiritual book study at 11:00 a.m. for those who wish to stay. Special services are scheduled on all major Holy days.

Everyone is welcome at Holy Trinity! We are an all inclusive church and wherever you are in your journey of faith, you are welcome at the Lord's table.

News and Coming Events

Happy Birthday Holy Trinity Parish - 116 Years Old!

Thank You, Lee Harris! Vaya con dios

Lee Harris came to Holy Trinity in October, 2008, for an "alternate ministry experience" in his preparation for ordination to the Vocational Diaconate. (Lee will be ordained a Vocational Deacon in just a few months.) During his nine months with us, Lee has served at the altar, preached, taught adult classes on Wednesday evening, visited our youth and Godly Play classes, planned Holy Week liturgies, and participated in almost every activity in our parish. He has truly enriched our parish life and Christian fellowship and we are immensely grateful; but it is now time for Lee to return to his sponsoring parish - St. Mark's, Upland. As you journey on towards ordination, our love and our prayers follow.

Sean Coburn O'Neal, organist, will be giving a noon-day organ recital on Wednesday, July 1, 2009, 12:30pm (immediately following the noon mass) at

Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels
555 W. Temple - Los Angeles, CA  90012
www.olacathedral.org
 
Program will include music by Respighi, Demessieux, Bach, Howells and Bonnet (Concert Variations)
 
Parking validation available if you arrive before the end of the noon mass.
Holy Trinity will be car-pooling.  Leaving Holy Trinity by 11:00 a.m. 
Thank you very much...hope you can make it. 

Flowers for the Altar

Adopt a Sunday to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, remember loved ones, or give thanks for a special blessing. Sign up on the Flower Chart in the Parish Hall. Cost of two bouquets for the altar is only $45.00. What a deal! And the florist will send you a bill. Share a Sunday with someone and split the cost. If you want to take your donated flowers home, see Lois Woolverton regarding removing them from the Altar.

Food Pantry

The numbers of those who are coming to the Food Bank are increasing rapidly, making it harder for the Pantry to meet all the needs. Your donations of non-perishable food and personal hygiene supplies are appreciated. Please place all items in the grocery cart at the back of the church for this very important ministry.
