Imagine the Possibilities

In 1880, twenty Catholic families requested permission to form a parish in rural Lenexa, Kansas. The request was granted and Holy Trinity Parish was formed. Thanks to the faith and perseverance of our early parishioners, a Catholic school was added and over the years, the campus has grown to meet the needs of an ever-changing parish and community.

Today, nearly 140 years since its inception, Holy Trinity Catholic Church remains a beacon in the Johnson County area. Our campus consists of a  beautiful main church, a historic Stone Chapel, the largest Catholic grade school in the Archdiocese, a rectory that has housed our beloved priests for more than 100 years, modern administrative offices for clergy and staff, and a 24/7 Adoration Chapel. It also includes our two-story Father Quigley Faith Formation Center, which houses our Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Program, our Early Education program, and meeting rooms.  We are indeed richly blessed.

Several very sucessful capital campaigns were held during the twenty year span when most of the construction on campus was performed.  But despite these sucesses, in 2016 Holy Trinity found itself with an outstanding debt of $3.9 million, with $150,000 in interest payments annually.  At that time parish leadership, with the input from the congregation, decided to attempt another capital campaign but with a different approach: more parishioner involvement and a specific goal of "Imagine the Possibities" of what Holy Trinity could do to support its parish ministries and the community with the interest it paid on its building loan

The "Imagine the Possibilities Campaign" was kicked off in June, 2017. Thanks to commitments from over 750 Holy Trinity families, the building debt balance was paid off on July 31, 2020. The Parish was finally debt free!
