Transforming Trinity - "Pews to Chairs" Project | Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral | |
This past week, we officially began our "Pews to Chairs" project at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, the first phase of Transforming Trinity. For many decades now, pews have been replaced by chairs in countless cathedrals and churches across the Episcopal Church and the world with remarkable success. In many cases, it has allowed congregations to experience a transformation and rebirth of their communities. Stackable, multi-use chairs will give Trinity a fully flexible and multi-purpose space that functions not only for worship, but for a variety of ministry and community events.
Until our new Cathedral Hall is complete, we urgently need a large space which allows us to grow our ministries and our outreach programs, to provide opportunities for fellowship and social events, to open the doors of the Cathedral for new community partnerships and engagement, and to provide a healthy income stream for the future. The Pews to Chairs project will transform our space, allowing us to accomplish all these things and more. Our goal is to complete the Pews to Chairs project by the end of 2023.

The success of Transforming Trinity and the Pews to Chairs project depends on the donation of chairs by cathedral parishioners, congregations, and individuals across The Episcopal Church in Southeast Florida and the wider Church. Chairs may be donated in honor of / in memory of a loved one or in honor of a specific church, congregation, or organization. Please consider donating one or more chairs!
The members of the Cathedral Chapter and I are very excited about this project, and we all agree that Transforming Trinity and the Pews to Chairs project is a creative and sustainable way forward for the future of the Cathedral. Please reach out to me by email at frjason@trinitymiami.org if you have any questions or concerns. You can also find more details about the Pews to Chairs project HERE.
Many blessings,
Father Jason
The Very Reverend Jason Roberson
Cathedral Provost
