Parish Center Receives Occupancy Permit —
Open House and Blessing took place on December 13–14, 2025

We are overjoyed to share some wonderful news with our parish community: the new Parish Center has officially received its Permit of Occupancy! After months of construction, planning, and prayerful anticipation, our long-awaited space is finally ready to open its doors.

To celebrate this milestone,  parishioners, families, and friends joined us for a Parish Center Open House on December 13 and 14, 2025, following all weekend Masses. This was a special opportunity to walk through the new facility, see the completed spaces, and learn more about how the Parish Center will support our ministries and parish life.

Sunday, December 14, immediately following the 9:00 AM Mass,  the Blessing of the Parish Center  took place. This brief but beautiful ceremony marked the official beginning of the Parish Center’s role in the spiritual and communal life of Holy Trinity.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported this project through prayers, generosity, and patience. We look forward to celebrating this joyful moment together as we open a new chapter in our parish’s mission and ministry.

A Look Back: The Journey to Our Parish Center

The completion of the Parish Center represents the hard work, generosity, and prayers of our entire community. Here is a brief timeline of our journey:

One of Holy Trinity’s top priorities is to construct a Parish Center. Holy Trinity’s Parish Center, once built, will offer Holy Trinity the ability to come together as a community for a wide variety of celebrations, achievements, and other events. The Parish Center will be the social center of the parish and will expand our parish life to include many new program offerings.

The Parish Center Committee was formed to help this goal come to fruition. The mission of the Committee is to oversee the design, marketing, fundraising, approvals, and construction of the Parish Center for Holy Trinity. For more information, visit our Parish Center Committee page.

Ground Breaking - June 17, 2023

The parish center will be built in multiple stages, with ground—breaking beginning the construction of the base building. This base building will finish the exterior and roof plus install utilities throughout the building (i.e. plumbing and sprinklers, electric, gas, etc.) within the walls. The large meeting space/gymnasium will also be built out. The parish and school will be able to occupy and use that space due to the Village of Westmont granting an extended permit of occupancy during construction for up to two years. The next phase of construction (which will necessary for full occupancy without a permit) will look to build the bathrooms, finish the second floor mezzanine, begin work on the kitchen (which will remain unfurnished during this phase) and install the elevator. The third and final stage will consist of completing the furnishings of the building.
