For more information, please see a greeter for directions on getting connected.

Join the Team!

It’s that time of year again! Holy Trinity is looking for several volunteers to join our elite mowing team. Those on the team are privileged to drive a sweet ride (vehicle provided- image is only a representation of vehicle). Hoping to get enough people so that everyone only has to help two or three times.

If you are available to help,

please contact Kevin Vannatta at 309-530-0313.

Growing Disciples Update: More Than Numbers

Father David Richardson discusses the important aspects of our parishes–aside from numerical data–that are essential to consider as we plan for the future in advancing the Five Foundations for Growing Disciples, and creating an even more vibrant, mission-driven and sustainable network of parishes.

He discusses information about parish draft modeling milestones, timelines and key consultative bodies involved in providing feedback.
