Be Part of the Story

In 2023, Holy Trinity Church celebrated its 400th anniversary, standing as one of the first churches erected in Bermuda and in the western hemisphere. Over the past four centuries, the Church has been a central point of fellowship where members of the Hamilton Parish community have celebrated major life moments (weddings, baptisms, and funerals).

We want to get a better understanding of the people who have been connected with the Church and the wider Hamilton Parish community over the past four centuries. With the Holy Trinity Church Family Scrapbook Project, Holy Trinity Church and the National Museum of Bermuda invite the community to share their photographs and stories of people connected to the Church and Hamilton Parish using our online digital storytelling platform.

Were any of your family members married, buried or baptised at the Church? If so, do you have any photographs of them and associated stories that you are willing to share?
