In order to comply with post-Vatican II recommendations, the remodeling of Holy Trinity was undertaken with specific design objectives in mind. The goal for our redesigned church was to achieve an environment that would be compatible with:

- One family gathered around the altar to worship God.

- The altar, ambo, and presider's chair visible to worshippers.

- Identical or increased seating capacity.

- Preservation of existing aesthetic features of the church.

- A baptismal font placed to be a physical reminder of our incorporation into church.

- An inviting and adequate gathering place outside the church entrance.

Efforts to achieve that environment resulted in changes to many of the basic architectural features of the original building. Committed to emphasizing the connection between celebrant and congregation, numerous structural details were revised to enhance the concept of community in liturgy

To that end, the altar (1) was moved and revised pew seating was designed, creating a less hierarchical setting and bringing the congregation much closer to the ceremony. Additionally, a new choir area (2) was located directly behind the altar, making music a more integral part of worship. A chapel (3) was created for the Blessed Sacrament, and a new baptistery (4) with a submersion baptismal font was added. A nursery, children's liturgy room, and library open off of the baptistery.

The location of the new baptistery reinforces the spatial re-orientation, as well as provides space for additional temporary seating, aligns the entry on-axis with the new altar location, and places the baptismal font at a key location in the entry sequence. Suspended convex wood ceilings extend the length of both the main body of the church and the baptistery. They reinforce the shift in direction of the altar and provide improved sound diffusion. The boat-like shape and material of the ceilings make reference to the church's location in San Pedro and elements of Christian history.

A loggia (5) which links the new entry and the outdoor space imparts a central focus to the main gathering space adjacent to the church, and reorients the entry to the church from the street (6) to the heart of the parish complex.
