From Connecticut-Don Coviello makes the trip in from Milford every Sunday to worship in the Chapel on the Green.
The outdoor service aimed at the city’s homeless, where they can get something to eat and enjoy the camaraderie of a church community in addition to an Episcopal service, is what spirituality is all about, he said.
“This is a real church,” said Coviello, as he and his grandson, David Rivera, 15, participated in an art project, a special feature offered by Sarah Hovick and Evie Lindemann before the service this week.
The Chapel on the Green was celebrating four years in existence, and hasn’t missed a single Sunday except when Tropical Storm Irene came through last year.
It is part of the programs sponsored by the Trinity Episcopal Church.
“They are ministering to these people who would not have the experience of the Eucharist right outside. Some people feel strange about coming into church,” Coviello said.
