Planned Giving Overview

Over two hundred years ago our beloved Chapel rang with the sound of the Georgetown Academy students, singing a Memorial Service for George Washington.

Now it resounds with the voices of today’s children, YAC’s, and adults giving praise in song and prayer. Extended families and friends come to celebrate baptisms, weddings and to gather to mourn the loss of loved ones.

The Parish Center is the workplace of our mission, promoting close collaboration between clergy and laity, ever more effective liturgy, and a close linkage between faith and action. In addition the Parish Center provides us with what we need to support every parishioner’s life at Holy Trinity, no matter what his or her involvements.

If one’s only connection is Sunday worship, the center is where those liturgies that nourish our spiritual life are planned. The Center is where music is rehearsed and homilies written. The Parish Center is home to numerous committee meetings. It is where clothes, food, toys, Easter baskets and school supplies are collected and distributed.

For over two hundred years, the men and women of Holy Trinity have used their stewardship gifts of time, talent and treasure to found, support and sustain our beautiful church community. Today you can be a part of our history.

The office of Development was established to provide the Parish with a systematic approach to financial stewardship with a special emphasis on the cultivation of deferred gifts. Inspired by an initiative of the late Kitty Nolan, Kitty planned her generous bequest long before her death. Today her gift continues to encourage us to attract current and future gifts for Endowment, Capital Replacement and New Capital Projects.
