Like the village, the church grew and a larger building became necessary with the result that in 1907 the decision was made to pull down the old building and rebuild. In 1908, on the 17th day of June, the cornerstone of the present church was laid. The trowel used is mounted in a case on the back wall of the church. At that time, it was known simply as Trinity Church.

The next great event in the history of this building and the congregation occurred in 1937. This was the centennial year of the church buildings and the year the debt was paid in full. The present building was consecrated to "The Glory of God Forever" by the Rt. Rev. John Lyons, Bishop of Ontario and given its present name, "The Church of the Holy Trinity."

The years have come and gone but the memory of the saints who have laboured in love and passed on to us this beautiful building remains forever in our gratitude and thanksgivings. "Rest eternal grant unto them and may light perpetual shine upon them."

Over the years we have had 27 rectors or Priests in charge. Holy Trinity, along with our sister church, Christ Church in Burritt's Rapids, make up the Parish of Merrickville. The present Rector, the Rev. Andrew Chisholm is the 28th Rector of the parish.

We look forward to the future with joy and anticipation. We pray that we may be faithful in our ministry and that God will continue to Bless us as we continue in His Name.
