Our Leadership
The Rev. Kevin Caruso
Rector
My name is Kevin Caruso. I am blessed to serve as the rector of a thriving congregation where we are striving to faithfully Love God, Love Neighbor, and Change the World. Moreover, I believe that our ability to Love is rooted in our relationships to God, one another, ourselves, and the world. Consequently, I also believe that getting to know the people who find their way to Trinity is one of the most important things I do. To that end, If you would find it meaningful to spend some time visiting, please be in touch! I would be happy to meet you somewhere for coffee, at Trinity, in your home, or even at your office. You can e-mail me or call the office at 630-665-1101.

The Rev. Deacon Brenda Lotesta
Deacon
She is so popular that she doesn't need a bio!
The Rev. Deacon Jayachitra Lalitha
Deacon
I am an ordained deacon since 2008 in the Church of South India. I am currently a John Stott visiting international scholar at Wheaton College, working on a book project on Mary Magdalene. I found Trinity very welcoming, and I am sure everyone who enters here will experience the same.
Assisting as a deacon at Trinity enables me to participate in the pastoral ministry of the global church, the body of Christ. If my REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) skills could be of help to someone, I am willing to listen to you over a cup of coffee or a meal.
