Architecture
The Shop at Trinity

"Browsing in the Shop at Trinity one day, a book of poetry caught my eye and I could not resist buying it. Later, when I spent the night in the emergency room with a sick friend, reading from that book gave us great comfort and helped pass the time. I've always felt that books have the potential to change your life. I'm so grateful I found that book when I did. If I'd gone on-line to order it later, I wouldn't have had it when I needed it."
—Linda Burgess

Welcome to The Shop at Trinity! We feature a hand-picked selection of faith-based gifts and materials intended to nurture and develop faith and enhance daily life. You'll find candles, literature, books on prayer and Christian history, sacred music (including the acclaimed Trinity Choir CDs), crosses, religious art, and more.

There are also a number of life-affirming items for you to peruse, whether you're looking for a tasteful souvenir, a unique card for any occasion, or a great gift for a wedding or baby shower. Local artists and craftspeople have developed a range of products exclusively for Trinity, including work by Boston photographer Jen Matson and a special line of Aunt Sadie's Candles, a local company based just a few blocks away in the South End. The Shop also features items related to the art, architecture, and history of Trinity, including books on Phillips Brooks, H. H. Richardson, and John La Farge. Leisurely browsing is encouraged, and we hope to see you here!

All of the net proceeds support the care and maintenance of the building and Trinity's programs and ministries.
