Q.  Why is the parking for Holy Trinity Catholic Church on the north side and not on the south side where the sun would hit it better? 

A.  As a part of the land swap with St. Edmond Catholic School, there is a designated "line" or area to which we, the parish, can not go south onto.  To have put the parking lot on the south side would have impeded upon the area which we agreed to not build on.  Secondly, street access would have been more difficult.  Third, parking on the north side also allows for the additional Catholic campus "feel", as all of the administrative offices for the school, Marian Home and parish would be located on 6th Avenue North. 
Also note, that on weekends the parish will be able to utilize the student parking lot behind St. Edmond Catholic School as additional parking for masses and parish events.  There will be a connecting sidewalk built from St. Edmond student (back) parking lot to the church buildings. 

*Land swap was for the north part of open land at St. Edmond for the old Phillips Middle School gym and field, which the parish purchased a few years ago.
