Welcome to Tria Corda Ministry!
The mission of Tria Corda Ministry is to help Catholics receive and extend Christ’s healing love. 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.
What We Do
For Ministry
Whether you work or volunteer in one of the Church’s ministries, the odds are high that many of the people you work with have faced or will face trauma.
Through our free online content, Tria Corda Ministry will:
- Provide you with information about trauma and its effects.
- Provide you with knowledge of trauma-informed practices and ideas for incorporating them into your unique ministry.
- Provide you with knowledge of factors that help prevent trauma’s potential negative impacts and ideas for promoting them in your unique ministry.
- Provide you with Catholic healing resources to refer people to should they disclose trauma to you.
- Provide you with resources to help you learn more about these topics.
For Individuals
At Tria Corda Ministry, we aim to help you know that you do not walk the healing journey alone. We seek to provide you with resources and encouragement on the healing journey.
Through our free content, Tria Corda Ministry will:
- Teach you how to build resilience, an ability that helps us better carry our crosses and bounce back after facing adversity.
- Provide you with lists of Catholic healing resources that could be helpful on your journey.
- Teach you about saints who also faced trauma so that you can learn from them and find some intercessors to walk with you on this journey.
About the Founder
Abby Albrinck is the founder of Tria Corda Ministry. Abby learned much about trauma and its effects throughout her graduate studies in psychology. One thought kept coming to her: The Church needs this. The fruit of that nudge by the Holy Spirit is Tria Corda Ministry.
Our Patrons
Tria Corda Ministry is named in honor of the three hearts (tria corda) of the Holy Family. The Holy Family faced much trauma throughout their lives, and today, they intercede for all of us on our healing journeys and in our ministry
