We Supported the Walk for Wellness
with Interfaith Caregivers
of Greater Mercer County
Trinity Cathedral of the Diocese of New Jersey supported the first annual walk for senior wellness, organized by Interfaith Caregivers. Funds raised during the event will support weekly “Project Healthy Bones” wellness classes for more than 150 older adults throughout Mercer County. These exercise and education activities help to build bone health, create social connections, preserve independence and prevent injuries from falls. Thanks to our walkers, Andrea John, Bobbie Powell, Judith A. Miller, Veronica Ngwayah and Margaret Nartey. Willie Coleman supported but could not walk because of a previous engagement. In all, $790 was raised by our group!

Society of Mary Sponsors Rosary Devotions
The Trinity Cathedral chapter of the Society of Mary (SoM) has added weekly Rosary devotions to its program. Since 1980, there has been a chapter of the SoM at Trinity Cathedral. This society is one of several organizations within the Episcopal Church that promote various aspects of our life and work as Christians. There are over 20 active chapters (called wards or cells) of the SoM in this country and many more abroad. Ours is called the Ward of Mary, Queen of All Saints, this name having been selected at its founding by Canon John A. Van Sant who was for many years the Canon Residentiary of Trinity Cathedral and had a special regard for Mary, the mother of Jesus.
The local programs of most of the wards and cells of the SoM include Rosary devotions as well as ecumenical pilgrimages with other Episcopalians, Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox in honor of Mary. For most of the past 37 years since our start in 1980, our Ward of Mary, Queen of All Saints has made an ecumenical pilgrimage to the local Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Doylestown, PA. At the request of some of our participants, we now have weekly Rosary devotions as well. We invite those who would like to spend some time in prayer to join us for half an hour on Thursdays in St. Elizabeth’s Chapel – after the activities at the Soup Kitchen conclude. We recite the Rosary, calling to mind in prayer and song many of the events or “mysteries” in the life of Jesus and of his mother. The starting time is announced in each Sunday’s bulletin (currently 6:45 pm.)
