TRINITY VISION STATEMENT
A Home in the Heart of the City, Rooted in the past, compassion-ately engaged in the present, and building a hopeful future.
Welcome!
Founded in 1835, Trinity Anglican Church Barrie is a welcoming church located in downtown Barrie. Our mission is to create a safe, welcoming, and dignified environment for individuals to reflect, worship, and connect with the community through our 21+ outreach initiatives. We recently celebrated our 188th birthday, and would love it if you came to worship with us and be part of our rich history.

2. We have a parishioner who is looking for someone to assist them with shopping each week. Please have a word with a member of the clergy or contact Gillian if you are able to assist with this.
3. On November 2nd, the Latino Congregation at St. Margaret's invites you to come and celebrate All Saints and the Day of the Dead. Join us at our 4pm Mass (Bilingual) as we remember the Saints (feel free to bring along an image of a favourite Saint), and we remember our dearly departed relatives and friends. We will be making an Ofrenda (an altar of remembrance), to remember the Dead, so bring a photo, or objects that are connected to a dearly departed relative to add to our Ofrenda. We will take time to eat and celebrate following the service. Please bring a dish or dessert to share as we will potluck together. If you have questions please reach out to Rev. Andrew.
4. The 3rd Annual Interfaith Symposium is taking place on Sunday, October 26th from 5:00 - 6:30 pm at the Stroud Banquet Hall. More information is available at this link.
5. November Retirees Meeting - Thursday, 6 Nov 2025 at 2 pm In light of Remembrance Day, we are delighted to have Sergeant (ret’d) Bob George share his experience with us. He has served on UN missions in the Gaza Strip and the Congo. He is also one of the founding members of Peacekeeper’s Park in Angus. Please join us that afternoon for a very interesting presentation and Q&A session. All welcome. Refreshments to be provided.
6. We are excited to announce “Songs of Hopefulness: A concert to welcome the season of Advent” on Sunday, November 30th at 2:00 pm.
7. Mark Your Calendar! Trinity is hosting a presentation of Star So Bright: A Journey of Faith, written by Jackie Bennett, on Thursday, December 11, 7:00 p.m. The story, which consists of readings and ten original pieces of music, is about a fictitious woman who is called by God to go to Bethlehem during a time when women did not travel on their own. With great courage and faith, she does as she is asked, and discovers, not only a miracle, but her purpose in life. Although this fictitious story is set in biblical times, it tells of a journey that is relevant today as we all search for where we belong and how our faith leads us there. The music, written with eastern, pop and folk influences, will be performed by the Star So Bright band, and the story will be told by women from our congregation. A free will offering will be collected with proceeds being shared between our church and the band. (If there is a particular place where this money will be shared it can be mentioned here.)
