Love Holy Trinity Blessed Mission (LHTBM) is a Chicago, Illinois based organization. It represents itself as a Roman Catholic mission. The group is active in Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin. The organization was founded in Chicago, and is currently led by Kyo McDonald and Father Len Kruzel, a former priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago. LHTBM began as a series of prayer meetings and Bible study groups in 1992. McDonald and Kruzel oversaw the expansion of the group into Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin.
The organization is currently seeking approval from the Vatican to become a formal religious order. The order is made up of lay Brothers and Sisters who live in a communal setting. LHTBM owns a convent and school in Chicago, a number of properties in Dubuque, Iowa, and a farm near Bellevue, Iowa that it plans to use as a retreat center. The Bellevue property was sold for $965,000 in May 2007 as reported in local news outlets .
