We celebrate the life and legacy of The Reverend Canon Louis E. Hemmers, who passed away on March 11, 2026. Known to many Trinity Campers as Father Lou, the DiRector of Trinity Camp for over 20 years.
Whether he was recounting the history of our Catalina Island roots or silencing the dining hall with a single raised hand, Father Lou was the heart of the camp. He was a tireless advocate for Trinity Camp, ensuring through "camper-ships" that any child who wanted to experience camp could. As DiRector, he extended the love of Christ to every camper and counselor he met.
We are forever indebted to his decades of service and his unwavering spirit. A funeral service celebrating Lou’s life will be held on Friday, March 27, at 10:30 a.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church, 419 S. 4th St., Redlands, Ca. 92373
