Suppression Notice
As previously announced by the Diocese in 2022, at the conclusion of a three-year visitation, the Apostolic See (specifically the then-Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life) by means of a Decree dated 13 May 2022 and approved in forma specifica by Pope Francis, suppressed the religious institute formerly known as the Trinitarians of Mary. With this suppression, the former members of the Trinitarians were automatically dispensed from their vows and are no longer permitted to present themselves as religious. There is no right of appeal, and the Trinitarians have ceased to exist as a religious institute recognized by the Catholic Church.
Our Faith
God Loves All
“The Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
We Stand With Immigrants
The Church’s teaching calls us to uphold the sacredness of all human life. This means that respect for immigrants and refugees is part of the same ethic that compels us to protect unborn children, the elderly and the infirm.
