OCEAN BEACH — The Holy Trinity Parish (Worldwide Anglican Communion) in Ocean Beach will have a new home as of Friday, Dec. 31. The parish, driven by a decision four years ago to disaffiliate from the Episcopal Church to “retain and pass on the faith and practice of historic Anglicanism as an expression of catholic Christianity,” will take the congregation from its current building at 2083 Sunset Cliffs Blvd. to Bethany Lutheran Church at 2051 Sunset Cliffs Blvd. The parish has been led by Father Lawrence D. Bausch since 1979. As of Sunday, Jan. 2, Holy Trinity will offer Sunday Mass at 8 a.m. at the new site. Holy Trinity will also offer midweek Masses at Bethany Lutheran on Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. and Fridays at 9:30 a.m. A service of hope and healing, open to the entire community, will take place at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 9. In 1979, the parish invited the Ecumenical Food Bank “Loaves and Fishes” to use its facilities and it has continued ever since. Around 1987, parish members began hosting a free dinner for the needy once a month, the first such opportunity in Ocean Beach. Since that time, it has expanded to a weekly meal every Wednesday; one of the early guests has been inspired to “give back” with a weekly Monday meal at the beach; and members of Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church have begun serving a free meal two Tuesdays a month. Holy Trinity also began offering a series of Celtic Music Concerts in 1997, and for the last 13 years, has hosted many of the finest performers from Ireland and Scotland when they have toured the United States. Parish offices and meeting rooms have also relocated to 3725 Talbot St. in Point Loma. For more information, call (619) 222-0365. Normal office hours will be Mondays through Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Fridays from 9 a.m. to noon.
