\"Holy
Holy Trinity in 1966<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I thought it might be helpful this week to talk about the new paint scheme that has just begun in the church. I\u2019d like you to know the process we\u2019re using in getting the new coloring just right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off, what you see in the back of church is an experiment. There is, of course, a general idea as to the color palette to be used (a sky blue for the ceiling, a sage green of sorts for the walls, and various accent colors on the church horizontals).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What follows in the next week will be adjustments to the shades (light and dark) of the palette. This will happen in conversation with the designer and selected parishioners who are skilled themselves in color and d\u00e9cor. (Your comments to me and any staff person are welcome and will be considered in forming the final coloring. But I\u2019m sure you understand that we\u2019ll have to go with our best thought.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s another matter that the painting of the church surfaces. How do we deal with change? Many of you have come to Holy Trinity for years. You\u2019ve come to know and love this worship space. I have too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But do you know how it looked before the current painting? It was totally different. Stencils and statues were every- where in the church. As was the fashion back then, \u201cmore is better\u201d. Every space was filled with something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then came the late 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s. It was then thought that blank canvas walls (white) were the best way to emphasize the windows and the dome. Plain and simple was the philosophy. And so it has been for over 40 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each person has their own taste, their favorite colors, etc. I remember coming to Holy Trinity ten years ago and in my first look at the church (I\u2019ve never told you this before), I thought, \u201cwhy is it all white?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in these years I\u2019ve come to appreciate you and the liturgy that happens here. I\u2019ve gotten used to this space. More than used to . . . I love this space. We get used to things. What seems \u201cdifferent\u201d soon becomes \u201chome\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So friends, I\u2019m asking you to trust the very good people who are driving this project, the designers, the painters, the parish committee. Yes, it will be different; and not just for difference sake \u0016 \u0016 \u0016 it will be better. It will serve the generations yet to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will be a beautiful space for weddings, funerals, First Communions, Christmas and Easter and, of course, Sunday Mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I promise to be in regular contact with you about the plan as it goes forward. In turn I trust YOU to be constructive and helpful as we beautify this sacred space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bless you. Fr. Tim<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PS. It\u2019s going to be beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
