To address essential needs in both the church and school. These include replacing the school’s HVAC systems and making both desired and needed updates in the church.

No. We will not assume any debt to complete these projects. If the projects cannot be parish funded, they will not move forward at this time.
The system is original to parts of the school, frequently breaks down, and is difficult to repair. It costs over $10,000 annually just to keep it functioning. The system is also so loud in its current state that teachers have resorted to using microphones in the classrooms to teach. We need to complete this project now to avoid a crisis replacement that could result in debt.
As we approach the 30th anniversary of our church in December 2026, this is a natural and timely moment to refresh our sacred space. Enhancements include replacing liturgical furniture (sanctuary seating, ambo, baptismal font, altar, and tabernacle), adding architectural emphasis to the sanctuary to better focus on the Eucharist, removing the outdated wall screen behind the altar, structurally repairing and re-cushioning the pews, and improving the lighting and sound in the church. These updates will help awaken and nourish our faith by fostering a more beautiful, prayerful worship environment.

The campaign is structured to fund both projects. While gifts CAN be restricted to one component, both are essential to the overall mission of Holy Trinity. Your support, either way, will benefit the entire community.
If the full amount is not raised, we will continue with our phased approach—always remaining financially responsible and debt-free. We will not complete any phases that are not fully funded.
