TRINITY ARTS One of the exciting parts of the cultural outreach of Historic Trinity Inc. is Trinity Arts. Trinity Arts has grown from a fledgling arts program to an outstanding year-round quality arts program that is widely recognized and respected. Artists, musicians, and theatrical groups all gather at Historic Trinity to present exciting art forms in this fine ecclesiastical setting. Graphic arts, art shows, dramas, church drama, concerts, choral presentations, organ concerts, and lectures all make up Trinity Arts. The Trinity Arts Library has begun a collection of hymn books of all faiths, liturgical agendas, books and prints of Christian art, stained glass, stone and wood carvings, liturgical vestments, Christian symbols, and booklets on cathedrals from throughout the world. The early church fostered and promoted the Arts. Historic Trinity today carries on the ancient tradition of the church as the patron of the arts. DAU CHURCH HISTORY LIBRARY The Dau Church History Library of Historic Trinity is collecting materials on each past and present churches in the City of Detroit. Here history scholars, students and historians gather to research and compile the history of Detroit churches of all denominations. The Dau Church History Library is an emerging collection of histories, photos, maps, videos, artifacts, and oral histories of these Detroit churches. The Dau Church History Library, housed on the third floor of Otte Hall of Historic Trinity, is fast becoming the center for church history and preservation. The library works in close cooperation with other historical libraries and institutes. SENIOR CITIZEN OUTREACH program of Senior Citizen OutreachHistoric Trinity Inc. strives to meet the emotional, physical, psychological, spiritual and social needs of Senior Citizens in downtown Detroit. The staff and volunteers work to provide services that will enhance the quality of the lives of senior residents. Senior citizens who move into the many Senior Hi-Rise Buildings often shut themselves in their small apartments, leaving their secure environment only for the absolute necessities. In many ways these senior citizens have put themselves in "storage" in these Hi-Rise "warehouses". The staff, parish members and volunteers of Historic Trinity reach out with love and concern through a variety of programs to activate and motivate these senior citizens. RESTORATION AND RENOVATION OF FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS The Historic Trinity Inc. assists in the raising of funding for the restoration and renovation of the cathedral church, and assists in the leadership and development of groups and programs. The interior of the church continues to be restored, the lighting and sound system has been renovated and updated, the organ has undergone restoration, the stained glass windows have been restored, and the work goes on!
