Holy Trinity Episcopal Church

What Holy Trinity Episcopal Church does

Holy Trinity Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal parish founded in 1887 in Covina, California, and operating as a constituent parish of the Diocese of Los Angeles within The Episcopal Church and the worldwide Anglican Communion. Headquartered at 100 North Third Ave on a campus anchored by a c. 1911 Gothic Revival/American Craftsman church designed by architect A.B. Benton, the parish serves the Covina community and the surrounding San Gabriel Valley through four weekly Sunday services — 8 a.m. Low Mass, 9 a.m. Morning Prayer, 10:15 a.m. Choral High Mass, and 12:15 p.m. Spanish-language La Santa Misa — plus Wednesday Rosary and weekday Mass, a monthly Recovery Eucharist, and sacramental ministries (baptism, confirmation, marriage, funeral). The organization explicitly positions itself as inclusive across age, ethnicity, economic status, and sexual orientation, and operates distinct program lines for the Latino community, recovery and mental-health populations, veterans and first responders, and choral and organ-music enthusiasts.

The parish's core "product" is its High-Church Anglican liturgical worship, differentiated by a sophisticated music program built around a historic two-manual pipe organ. The organ was originally installed in 1926 by Henry Pilcher's Sons (Louisville, KY) with 11 ranks; it received a Möller console in 1961, O'Neal Pipe Organ Service modifications in 2002, six ranks of Wicks pipe work incorporated from the disbanded St. Martha's Episcopal Church in 2013, and a 2017 Möller console rebuild integrating a Syndyne MS8400 solid-state relay system with touchscreen, MIDI, piston sequencer, and integrated playback/record. The 2025 Organ Project ($19,000 budget) re-leathers roughly 1,050 windchest actions and targets a 30–40-year functional lifespan expansion to 34 ranks. Supporting musical infrastructure includes the Parish Choir (skilled volunteer and professional singers, with soloists including mezzo-soprano Christina Wilcox), the open Festival Choir, and the St. Cecilia Music Guild endowment. La Capilla de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, dedicated 2013-08-17 and modeled after Mission San Diego de Alcalá, houses the Latino Ministry alongside English-language worship.

Revenue is generated entirely from voluntary contributions and ancillary facility usage: recurring member pledges via tithe.ly, Sunday plate offerings, bequests and memorial gifts (including the music endowment), 150+ guest Parish Hall rentals for weddings, quinceañeras, funerals, corporate and community events, and designated gifts to the St. Cecilia Music Guild. Distribution is exclusively on-site at the Covina campus, with marketing limited to organic community word-of-mouth, a Facebook events page, a dedicated La Capilla Facebook page, and a Constant Contact–distributed Good Tidings newsletter. Leadership is provided by Rector Fr. Steven H. De Muth (since 2017), Assisting Priest Fr. William L. Peyton, Priest Emeritus Mo. Judith A. Heffron, Director of Music Garrett John Law, and a 9-member elected Vestry.
