Trinity Presents Gift to Quin Foundation for Hurricane Ike Help

Bishop Quin Trinity 3
Trinity Galveston Quin 2

The Rev. Susan Kennard, rector of Trinity, Galveston, visited the diocesan center in Houston on Thursday, June 21 and presented the Bishop Quin Foundation with a framed photo of one of Trinity's stained glass windows.

 

After Hurricane Ike, the Quin Foundation granted Trinity $357,992 in a joint effort with the Episcopal Foundation of Texas. The money was used help with an insurance deductible for the damage to the church building, which suffered flooding and wind damage in the devastating storm. In 2010, the Quin Foundation granted another $300,000 to help rebuild the church's parish hall which had been in disrepair for many years. 

 

A note on the back of the frame reads, "The vestry and people of Trinity Episcopal Church thank you for your support during our building restoration."
