Trinity's Upcoming COMFORT AT ONE to Begin Streaming This Monday

Trinity Church Wall Street continues its three-century role of bringing solace to New York's downtown community and the world at large, with a full program of online "Comfort at One" concerts.

Taking advantage of Trinity's extensive archives and high-quality recording and film technology, this free streaming series was launched after the suspension of in-person activities at the start of the pandemic last year, quickly proving its value and power as a tool for bringing regular programming to people in isolation.

The weekday Comfort at One concerts stream on Facebook and Twitter, with full videos posted on Trinity's website. All streams start at 1pm ET. Upcoming highlights are detailed below.
