Holy Trinity Parish is pleased to welcome fellow parishioner, David Lopez, as the parish’s Director of Stewardship and Parish Administrator.

David supports Monsignor Kidder, the Holy Trinity staff, and volunteers in promoting stewardship as a way of life at our parish. He’ll work to ensure that all offerings of your time (in worship), talent (in ministry) and treasure (financial support of the parish ministry) are effectively recruited and managed by proactively organizing, staffing, and managing our stewardship outreach.

“When we came to Holy Trinity in July of 2003 and attended our first Mass, we knew that Holy Trinity was a special community of faith,” said David. “Unlike any other church we had attended, we immediately felt welcome. On that Wednesday morning nearly two years ago when I first came for Mass, as she handed me a hymnal, parishioner Monica Getchel greeted me with a big ‘Hello’ and ‘Welcome to Holy Trinity!’ In the true spirit of stewardship, Monica embodied the hospitality that made us instantly feel a part of this vibrant community.”

Since then, David and his wife Kathy have taken seriously their commission to “give back” to the Lord as good stewards through service in the parish. David also serves on the School Advisory Commission, the Stewardship Committee, and, with his wife Kathy, as a Eucharistic Minister. Kathy is an active volunteer at Holy Trinity School and has chaired the school’s largest fundraiser, the annual “Taste of the Titans” dinner and auction.

“David brings a wealth of leadership and organizational skills that will provide the foundation for our future stewardship efforts here at Holy Trinity,” said Monsignor Kidder. David’s job focuses on helping parishioners made the best use of the gifts with which God has blessed them. “Getting people involved and committed is what’s key,” said David. “People want to be asked, and people want to feel like the contributions they are making are important and appreciated.”

David and Kathy have three sons, Nick (a sophomore at Rio Americano High School), Andrew (a 7th grader at Holy Trinity School), and Gregory (a 6th grader at Holy Trinity School). They have lived in Gold River since 1992. He is a graduate of Stanford University.
