In the past two years, Holy Trinity Monastery has addressed the important work of restoring its church cupolas and outdoor mosaics. This work has been met with considerable obstacles and financial difficulties. Most notably, one cupola was accidently taken down and the installation fee of two mosaics were estimated to cost as much as the mosaics themselves.

Problems from these two separate projects have occurred simultaneously, placing a strain on our ability to complete them successfully. We are appealing to you to assist in funding the expensive engineering and installation costs of the cupolas and mosaics for the beautification of our monastery.

For the cupolas, we need to raise $35,000 due to new, unexpected fees ($15,000 for surprise installation costs and $20,000 to replace a damaged cupola). For the mosaics, we need to raise an estimated $115,000 ($37,500 is due to preliminary engineering costs and $77,500 is for the actual construction and reinforcement using concrete and steel).

We do not raise nearly enough money through our collection plate or sales of our products to serve the basic needs of our monastics, professors, seminarians, parishioners, and beloved pilgrims. We are exceedingly thankful for all donations, whether $1 or $1,000, and we kindly ask you today to give as much as you are able.

In total, we earnestly need to raise $150,000. This sum is substantial and a burden for our community, but we humbly ask for your help in contributing this money for the endurance of our monastery, for the benefit of our Mother Church, and for the glory of God.
