Archbishop Philip Freier and Bishop Lindsay Urwin follow Trinity’s new Senior Chaplain, Reverend Bryn Jones, into his commissioning service
A gift to create a spiritual home The beautiful Chapel of the Holy Trinity, which this year will celebrate its 30th birthday, exists as it is today because of one generous member of our school community. Carl Hornemann (OTG 1914) was an Honorary Life Member of the Old Trinity Grammarians’ Association and served as its President from 1930-1931. Upon his passing, he bequeathed an amount to the school that enabled the construction of the Chapel in the south-west corner of the Birrell Oval. Designed by internationallyrecognised architect Peter Crone (Crone Architects) in 1993 and awarded the Victorian Architecture Medal that same year, the special space is a testament to the power of a bequest and how, by leaving a gift in your Will, you can not only a create a remarkable visual representation of your relationship with the school but also something that will

positively impact the lives of others for decades to come. In March this year, the Chapel hosted the commissioning of Trinity’s 16th Senior Chaplain, Reverend Bryn Jones. The event was a simple but distinctive ceremony that reflected not only the ethos of our new Chaplain, but also the Chapel itself. With the 30th anniversary of the Chapel this year, it is a great opportunity for us to reflect on the

importance of Carl Hornemann’s gift and perhaps consider ways you too might be able to leave your legacy. To learn more about leaving a bequest to Trinity, please contact advancement@trinity.vic.edu.au or phone 9854 3600. Lucy Cohen Director of Community Engagement
