TRINITY CHAPEL
The community of Palmer Trinity
yearns for a place of calm and peace
away from the hustle and bustle of
the daily schedule. Our commitment
to the spiritual component of life
draws faculty, staff and students to
find a way to reconnect to the divine
essence which is holy and comforting.
Finding our way to sanctity, in a place
where celebrating the sacramental life,
including births, marriages, healings
and reconciliation, as well as gathering
times for significant community
events, reveals our commitment to
our practiced Episcopal identity. Our
Chapel will be a place of celebration
and consolation for our entire
community of learners.
Over the centuries, a Chapel is a place
of worship serving a community. The
word "chapel" is derived from a relic
of Saint Martin of Tours: traditional
stories about Martin relate that
while he was still a soldier, he cut his
military cloak in half to give part to a

Groundbreaking Ceremony
By Reverend Dr. Mary Ellen Cassini, Chaplain
ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2018, Palmer Trinity School
proudly broke ground for "Trinity Chapel," in honor of the
Reverend Dr. Edward Dougherty, a beloved Head of School
in the early days of the merger of the schools, Palmer and
Trinity. Upon meeting "Ned" for the first time, I was struck
by his humility, kindness and compassion. He is an honored
and respected educator, leader in the history of our beloved
school. The dedicated group of families who are supporting
the building of the Chapel, are passionate about creating a
holy sanctuary for our community.
