Personal Welcome
There are two things that are really important in a church: The first is that people are having a deep and meaningful encounter with Jesus Christ. The second is when people visit, they are greeted with warmth and joy by the congregation and feel like it's the sort of community they really want to be a part of. People want to feel that the church they attend will make a positive impact on their lives. I hope both things are part of your experience when you come and visit. We invite you to be a part of our family at Trinity Anglican and experience God's transforming power through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Warmly in Christ,
Fr. "Matt"+

Rev. Cn. Matthew Mirabile, Rector
At 19 Fr. Mirabile experienced a dramatic conversion from drugs and alcohol. Since then he has devoted his life to bringing the healing love of God to everyone he meets.
At 21 he left his home in Connecticut to join Youth With a Mission to attend a Discipleship School in the Netherlands, EU. He then completed 2 years of study in Urban Ministry and Cross-Cultural Evangelism at the Amsterdam School of Missions, (YWAM, University of the Nations). While abroad, he traveled throughout Europe, East and West Africa, and Asia, preaching the gospel. He led mission teams, preached on the street, taught evangelism, and counseled addicts. He met his wife Inger while in Amsterdam, where they married.
They returned to the United States in 1987, where he and his wife settled to raise a family. He was ordained to the diaconate in the Charismatic Episcopal Church in 1993 and ordained to the priesthood in December, 1995. He attended the CEC, Saint Michael's Seminary Program. While in the CEC he planted two churches. In 2009 he left the CEC and, after a short stint in the Antiochian Orthodox Western Rite, was received into the Anglican Catholic Church at the Cathedral of the Resurrection in Ansonia, CT by Bishop Rocco Florenza. He served there as provost of the cathedral from 2011-2016.
Fr. Mirabile was called to Trinity Anglican Church in Rochester, NH, in March of 2016 after a pastoral search. He was installed as rector that June. Since then, Trinity has experienced steady growth, especially among young families. He is the director of St. Luke's camp and was made canon missioner in 2023.
Fr. Matt has a longstanding passion for the relationship between spiritual formation, mental health, and healing. In addition to his theological studies at St. Michael’s Seminary, he completed the Clinical Pastoral Care program at St. Francis Academy in Connecticut. He later completed the year-long Ignatian Spiritual Direction program at the Center for Spirituality and Justice in New Rochelle, New York, earning certification as a spiritual director.
Continuing his interdisciplinary interest in faith and human flourishing, Fr. Matt pursued further studies in psychology at Liberty University, completing four semesters of coursework. He has also received specialized training in substance abuse and gambling disorders, as well as the neuroscience of addiction and trauma.
Fr. Matt is currently engaged in postgraduate studies in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health through King’s College London, where he continues to explore the intersection of Christian spirituality, mental wellness, and human transformation.
He and his wife Inger have been married for 39 years and they have four adult children. Fr. Mirabile believes their greatest achievement is raising emotionally healthy children, whose faith is lively and who still attend church. He is a passionate motorcyclist who enjoys traveling far and wide on two wheels.

Vestry
Like all Anglican churches, the secular affairs of the church are governed by a vestry. The vestry is composed of a senior warden, junior warden, treasurer, clerk and several other vestrymen and women. Our vestrymen are elected to serve at an annual meeting for limited terms.
