Holy Trinity’s Fellowship Groups follow the “relational ministry” model. Rather than “talking at attendees” participants are drawn into a discussions and participatory learning. This approach not only increases the likelihood that knowledge will be retained, it moves group members beyond the level of mutual acquaintances and toward the intimacy of the early Church.
Entering the Mystery Faith & Fellowship · Fall 2026
Every Sunday, we rehearse the end of the world.
This fall, Faith & Fellowship takes up the Divine Liturgy itself — not as a service we attend, but as a mystery we enter. Our guide is St. Maximos the Confessor, a seventh-century monk who walked away from the emperor's court and gave the Church one of its most beautiful accounts of what the Liturgy actually is.
Over ten Tuesday evenings we will walk through the Liturgy from the opening blessing to the dismissal, asking questions like: Why is a church built like a cosmos? What really happens when the doors are closed? Why does the Liturgy change tense after the Gospel?
No reading is required, and no background is assumed. Whether you have prayed the Liturgy for seventy years or seven weeks, there is something here for you.
Begins Tuesday, September 15 · 7:00 p.m.

St. Joseph the Hesychast Men’s Fellowship
The men of Holy Trinity gather under the patronage of St. Joseph the Hesychast — the Athonite elder whose life of prayer, labor, and brotherhood shapes everything we hope to do together. Every man of the parish, and every friend who is curious, is welcome. Come and see.
Our fall lineup — beginning the week of September 7:
Book study — "My Elder Joseph." We are reading the life of the saint our fellowship is named for, together, over Zoom. Every other Wednesday, 7:00–8:00 p.m., beginning September 9 (then Sept 23, Oct 7, Oct 21, Nov 4, and Nov 18).
Monthly breakfast. One Saturday a month, around a table, 9:00–10:00 a.m. — Sept 19 at Boulevard Cafe, Oct 10 at Jack's in San Bruno, and Nov 14 at Apple Fritter in San Mateo. If Divine Liturgy falls on one of these Saturdays, we gather right after church.
Fall hike — Alamere Falls. Saturday, December 12. A day on the Point Reyes coast trail, ending at a waterfall that meets the sea. Trailhead and carpool details to come.
Pilgrimage — Spring 2027. Save the date: a pilgrimage to St. Anthony's Monastery in the Arizona desert, founded by Elder Ephraim, a disciple of St. Joseph the Hesychast.
