We do not invent. We continue.
Alphonse Desjardins captured a Catholic people's savings flow and redirected it to their own. Father McGivney captured the same people's insurance flow and did likewise. The Holy Trinity Caisse turns the same wheel a third time.

What this packet asks
Not money. Not endorsement of a concept. Not a program integration.
- From the pastor: a blessing, and permission to be kept under the parish's roof.
- From the Knights: recognition as consistent with Father McGivney's charism, and a nominated council of witnesses.
- From diocesan counsel: a blessing of the walk-away structure and IRS receipt language for the professional-services lane, before the first professional is enrolled.
- From the parishioners: nothing yet. The caisse is offered, not imposed.
