Trinity Cathedral is home to, or partners with, a variety of social justice organizations.

Crop Walk is neighbors walking together to take a stand against hunger in our world. Together we raise awareness and funds for international relief and development, as well as local hunger-fighting. Every Fall, Trinity Cathedral walkers join in this interfaith, community effort to help stop hunger. Watch the Cathedral Cross for dates/ ways to get involved.

Family Promise is committed to helping low-income families nationwide to achieve lasting independence. This is done by helping communities mobilize to provide safe shelter, meals, and support services for homeless families and through programs designed to redress the underlying causes of homelessness. Here in Sacramento, Trinity Cathedral, along with twelve other hosting congregations, participates in this program by hosting families, who are homeless, in our facility four times per year. Numerous volunteer opportunities to help cook, host and/or donate supplies are available. Contact Sally Smith.

Francis House is a resource and counseling center for the poor supported by fifteen churches and the community at large. All too often, we provide the last hope for those disenfranchised from the main stream of society. Anyone in need is welcomed with a warm cup of coffee and a dose of compassion. Our counseling is much like you would experience with a friend who was having difficulties; listen first, then help problem solve their dilemma. This could include something as simple as a referral to a food closet, providing a motel voucher or as complex as advocacy for a client in the Welfare system. Contact: Ted White 395-7703

Habitat for Humanity is a housing ministry based on the Christian principles of decent housing for all people, regardless of race or creed. Prospective homeowners work with volunteers who build the houses as their expression of God's love. In 2007, Trinity Cathedral completed the Habitat house they built with Center of Praise Ministries. Thanks to the many volunteers from both congregations, a lovely home was built in Oak Park. Those interested in organizing another Habitat team should contact Dean Baker.

Integrity works for the full inclusion of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered members in the life of the church. Contact Integrity. At the 2007 Pride Parade, Trinity clergy and parishioners joined many from a variety of Sacramento faith communities to walk in solidarity with our Integrity chapter.

Sacramento Loaves and Fishes is a large complex in downtown Sacramento which provides numerous services to over 2500 different homeless guests monthly. Members of Trinity Cathedral volunteer in various capacities, including The Reverend Canon Kathleen Kelly, who serves on the Board of Directors. Watch for opportunities in the Cathedral Cross, or contact Loaves and Fishes directly. Contact: Volunteer placement is arranged by the Loaves and Fishes Volunteer Coordinator, Gail Erlandson, who can be reached by phone (916)446-0874 or by e-mail at volunteer@sacramentoloavesandfishes.org.

Social Justice Advocacy Ministry (SoJust)
In obedience to Jesus’ command to do the works that He did and thus help establish the Kingdom of God in THIS world, in THIS life; and in obedience to our Baptismal Covenant to strive for justice and peace among ALL people and to respect the dignity of EVERY human being,

we encourage respectful and open minded consideration of all points of view, peaceful resolution of differences, and reconciliation of estranged parties and

we advocate - for specific individuals and for groups - for just and compassionate governance that focuses on preventing social and moral ills from occurring in the first place, not just ameliorating or eradicating them after they have been created by unjust and uncompassionate governance.

In many churches our ministry is known as PEACE AND JUSTICE. We meet from 5:30 - 7:00 pm the third Friday of each month at Trinity in Room F.
