To help the renovation committee focus on the project priorities, architect Adam Hermanson asked us to list our thoughts on a pre-design questionnaire. This series of daily questions will allow parishioners to do the same.
I’ll post one question per day – please take a minute to leave your thoughts in a comment.
The fifth question is:
What changes would be required to improve the celebration of the Sacrament of Marriage?
Please share your thoughts in the comments section – especially if you were married at Holy Trinity. Click the “How To Post Your Comments” tab above for instructions on how to share your thoughts.

- I think music delivery here is important.
In addition to a whole wedding party, we have singers up front and it gets busy. Music from the choir loft would be ideal.
- A nice bride room would be nice- a place where valuables (purses etc) can remain locked during the celebration. Right now the choir loft is not purse-safe and the bathroom is not exactly bride friendly.
- Many couples, especially in the Hispanic tradition, do some sort of consecration to Mary during the wedding. It would be great to have a nicer Mary altar. One that is more accessible for the couple up front and more beautiful. I’m not crazy about the rainbow lamp behind the statue of Mary right now.
- An altar rail would be really nice and more traditional for the couple to receive communion kneeling.
