As with other Christians throughout the world, parishes and missions around the Diocese of the Holy Trinity are again preparing to offer special worship services and liturgies for Holy Week.

Throughout the diocese, parishes will be offering special programs, worship services and other activities for the annual observance of Lent, which begins with Ash Wednesday on February 14.

On January 14, Bp. Scarlett confirmed eight adults at St. Matthew’s Church in Newport Beach.

During fall, Bp. Scarlett visited two parishes to perform confirmations. At St. Mary Magdalene, he confirmed four and also received four into the church. At Saint Joseph parish, he confirmed three. Both visits include an all-parish celebration afterwards.

The newest congregation in the Diocese of the Holy Trinity, St. Thomas Anglican in Fullerton, recently celebrated its third wedding.
