Trinity Episcopal Church in Redlands welcomed Bishop Antonio José Gallardo Lucena for a special celebration of faith and community, bringing together three congregations for a service of confirmation and reception. Joining Trinity were members of All Saints Episcopal Church in Riverside and Grace Episcopal Church in Moreno Valley, with a total of 33 individuals confirmed or received into the Episcopal Church.

The gathering reflected Bishop Antonio’s message that congregations are stronger when they come together in faith, support one another, and share in their Christian witness. The joyful occasion brought parishioners from across the region together for worship, fellowship, and a celebration of their growing faith communities.
