Holy Trinity Catholic Church Fact Sheet 9150 Pflumm Rd • Lenexa, KS 66215 • 913-888-2770 • www.htlenexa.org our parish As Holy Trinity looks to its future, we can never forget our beginnings and the many blessing we have received in our 132 year history. Steady growth has prompted expansion. In the past 20 years, multiple facility additions, expansions and improvements have been accomplished - most recently Fr. Quigley Faith Formation Center, Adoration Chapel in 2008 and school addition/improvements in 2011. Today, Holy Trinity is the spiritual home to more than 2700 families. Our growth Holy Trinity has grown steadily since the 1970’s and will continue to do so in the coming years especially as growth within our western boundary continue. Many of our faith formation ministries and services rank among the largest in the Archdiocese. We are expecting one of our largest school enrollments this Fall as we celebrate our school’s 100th Anniversary. Our call While this growth is a blessing, it also presents certain challenges. Holy Trinity has a long history of responding to these, particularly in recent years. As good stewards, we are called to continue to plan and provide for the current and future physical and spiritual needs of our growing, diverse parish family. Our Plan With the key initiatives of our master plan now completed, the parish must focus on the elimination of our construction debt as well as address some pressing needs of our church building. These areas are critical to secure our future financial and spiritual health. While this growth is a blessing, it also means responsibility. As good stewards, we are called to take care of our existing facilities while also planning for the future needs or our parish family. OUR NEEDS Eliminate Our construction Debt | $5.3 million “Holy Trinity is a vibrant, caring community, and we are glad you are part of our parish family. Please join us in this effort to ensure that Holy Trinity can continue to carry out its mission to cultivate a family of stewards for Christ.” Fr. Mike Koller Pastor Since 1994 Holy Trinity has completed nearly $20 million in new and renovated facilities, $10 million of which recently went toward the completed Fr. Quigley Faith Formation Center, Perpetual Adoration Chapel and school addition/ remodeling. Today, this debt stands at $5.3 million. Eliminating this debt is the first priority of our parish leadership to ensure our continued health. Most parishioners with a previous capital campaign pledge are nearing their completion and ordinary offertory collections today are not sufficient to support the monthly loan payments. church needs | $1 million Built in 1996, our beautiful, highly utilized church is in need of some significant repairs. These projects will help ensure the safety of our parishioners, add to their worship experience and allow us to meet the challenges expected by future growth. Parish leadership has identified the following items: • Carpet replacement • Painting and woodworking • Pew refurbishing or replacement • Acoustical paneling repair • Sound and lighting systems upgrades/replacement • Additional parking • Exterior improvements (92nd Street and sidewalks, lighting, paint) Your Voice The next step in our planning process is to hear what you have to say about these needs and their priority. This is will be achieved by a feasibility study. The results will provide us with valuable information about your ability and willingness to support Holy Trinity. Your input will allow us to set a reasonable financial goal should we move to the next step, a capital campaign. The study also will help us indentify potential leaders and potential donors.
