Gun Tragedies Memorial Stones
A public art installation honoring victims of mass shootings in America
On view from September 24-October 9, 2023
You are invited to help place memorial stones in the labyrinth on the grounds of Holy Trinity on Sunday, September 24 at the end of the 9:45 am worship service.
Created by Madeline Champagne, this outdoor memorial brings awareness to and honors the victims of mass shootings across America in 2023. For every mass shooting, a rounded beach stone is inscribed with date, city/town, and state. Each black ribbon represents a life lost to gun violence, while injuries are shown with red hearts.
As of September 23, there are 509 stones with 530 black ribbons and 2128 red hearts.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY

In the spring of 2021, Holy Trinity planted its first pollinator garden to provide nectar and pollen for monarch butterflies, bees, moths and other insects. In 2022, the garden was moved to a sunnier spot along the driveway, while the old one was converted to a milkweed bed to help support monarch caterpillars. Monarch butterflies from the Northeast migrate to Michoacán, Mexico every fall, and are threatened by habitat loss, overuse of herbicides and climate change.
Holy Trinity is committed to protecting God’s creation and reversing the alarming impacts of human development and climate change on our natural environment We’re looking for volunteers to help care for our landscape and envision how we can continue to reduce our environmental and carbon footprint.

Your support can make a difference in the life of a child experiencing homelessness
HTLC partners with School on Wheels Massachusetts in support of its mission to support the academic, social, and emotional growth of Massachusetts students experiencing homelessness.
One of the ways we support this programming is by helping provide backpacks full of school supplies to students at the start of the school year. This year we focused on students in grades Kindergarten through second grade.
While the backpacks have already been assembled, you can still make a financial donation to support this program and other work carried out by School on Wheels.
