Welcome to Tria Corda Ministry!
The mission of Tria Corda Ministry is to help Catholics extend and receive Christ’s healing love, especially in the areas of trauma and woundedness.
Under the patronage of the Holy Family, we aim to create a Church where all in ministry are trauma-informed, and those who have experienced trauma are supported on their healing journey.
Our Three Pillars
Trauma-Informed Catholics
We help those who work or volunteer in the Church’s ministries become trauma-informed in their work, promoting healing and safety for trauma survivors.
Restored and Resilient
We help Catholics discover resources for healing from trauma and grow in resilience, an essential ability for the healing journey.
Stories of Hope
We share stories of saints who faced trauma and found healing in Christ, helping people find intercessors and offering important lessons for their healing journey.
About the Founder
Abby Albrinck is the founder of Tria Corda Ministry. Abby became passionate about trauma-informed ministry and helping people find healing while in graduate school for clinical psychology.
During her years studying trauma and its impacts, she kept thinking, “The Church needs this knowledge”.
Tria Corda Ministry is the fruit of her conviction that the Church must be at the forefront of helping people find healing after trauma and preventing trauma.

- St. Therese of Lisieux

- Servant of God Leonie Martin
