Capitol Campaign FAQs

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.

Approximately $4.6 million in total, to complete the proposed projects in the church and in the school.

• $2.2 million for the school HVAC system
• $2.4 million for church enhancements including sanctuary updates, new sound and lighting, and pew/kneeler restoration

No. The feasibility study will help us determine what we can realistically raise without incurring debt. We will not assume debt to complete any of these projects. If the projects cannot be 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altar, and tabernacle), adding architectural emphasis to the sanctuary to better focus on the Eucharist, removing the outdated wall screen behind the altar, structurally repairing and re-cushioning the pews, and improving the lighting and sound in the church.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.

Pending the results of the feasibility study, we plan to launch a parish-wide campaign this Fall. Parishioners will be invited to make a pledge over a 2-year period. There will be opportunities for one-time gifts, recurring donations, and planned giving.

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 results suggest the full goal is not realistic, we will prioritize the most urgent projects and consider a phased approach—always remaining financially responsible and debt-free.

No. Daily parish operations, ministries, and outreach efforts will continue as usual. This campaign is specifically for capital improvements and is separate from the annual operating budget.

The active phase of the campaign will run for several months beginning this Fall. Parishioners will have the option to fulfill pledges over a 2-year period.

The feasibility study will launch in the Summer of 2025. The results will guide the official campaign timeline and scope, with the campaign tentatively planned to begin in the Fall.
