The Episcopal Church of the Trinity in Coatesville recently dedicated its newly constructed columbarium affixed to the existing church structure. The Rt. Rev. Daniel G.P. Gutierrez, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania, concelebrated with the Rev. Sherry Deets, rector.
As part of the dedication ceremony, former members Lawrence and Alberta Taliaferro were the first to be officially inurned in the columbarium. The niche was opened and the two urns placed by Victor J. Shanley, chairman of the Columbarium Committee, under whose management the columbarium was built. The niche and its contents were then blessed by Bishop Gutierrez.
The congregation celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2018 and continues to serve the greater Coatesville community. For more information about the columbarium, readers may call the church office at 610-384-4771.
