STEWARDSHIP OF TREASURE

Holy Trinity urgently needs of your financial generosity. Holy Trinity has two areas that require financial support from all our families: Sunday Offering and Capital Campaign.   Sunday Offering helps pay for the operation of Holy Trinity (faith formation programs, music program, utilities, pastor and staff salaries, etc.). Our average Sunday offering is $360 per year per family, compared to the average of $600 from surrounding parishes. The yearly average gift per family to break even with Holy Trinity’s expenses is $915 per year.   Click here to make a gift to the Sunday Offering and enter your gift amount in the box labeled "Donation". To help cover Holy Trinity's operational expenses, we pray you can help with a gift of $20 - $25 weekly; or $80 - $100 monthly; or $960 - $1,200 annually.   Capital Campaign helps pay for the loans that helped us build the church. We still need to raise over $4 million to completely payoff our loans. Click here to make a gift to the Capital Campaign and enter an amount in the "Capital Campaign" box.   Thank you and may the Lord bless your generosity one hundredfold!
