This message was sent out February 23, 2007 to the parishioners of Holy Trinity in the wake of charges of sexual misconduct with a minor against Fr. Nicholas Katinas, who served for 28 years in this Dallas parish.

Dear Beloved Parishioner of Holy Trinity,

Please see the attached beautiful and prayful message of His Eminence Metropolitan Isaiah: View Letter

During this Great and Holy Lenten period, it is of the utmost importance to allow our hearts, souls, and minds to dwell in the garden of our Lord. To understand that we as human beings all have frailties and that through worship, prayer, and education we can come to know and recognize our weaknesses.

As our hearts are heavy laden with sorrow, and our thoughts and prayers are offered for the victims, Father Nicholas, and his entire family. Fr. Gregory, Deacon Mark, and I are walking this road with you, and as you may call upon us for spiritual guidance, we are calling upon you for strength in your everyday prayers.

In order to gather together as a community grounded in our Lord, God and Saviour Jesus Christ, we are offering this opportunity to the entire Holy Trinity family through the following: “Seminars of Healing”
