I grew up as a kid in 70s and 80s in a household of healthcare professionals, and one of our favorite television shows as a family was M*A*S*H. My mother worked as an operating room nurse for over forty years, my stepfather was a surgeon, and I ended up working in the operating room and in health care for over a decade. M*A*S*H offered a unique snapshot into the world of a wartime surgical hospital, and for eleven seasons between 1972 and 1983, this iconic show changed the face of American television. Our family tuned in every week without fail.
Decades later as I began to discern a call to the priesthood, I realized that the concept of hospital and wartime chaplaincy, and especially the character of Father John Mulcahy, had helped shape my own impressions of what prayers for healing can mean to the sick, the injured, and to health care providers themselves. Father Mulcahy prayed without ceasing for eleven seasons. But for me, it was his constant ministry of presence, along with those unceasing prayers, that were so incredibly powerful in the cruel and seemingly hopeless environment of the Korean War.
Prayer and presence go together to set the stage for healing. As members of a Christian community, we are present with each other both in joy and in the darkest times of our lives. And along with that holy presence together, we pray for one another. Presence and prayer, together in community, help us to have hope and to hold on to it.
Every Wednesday at 12:10, we celebrate the Holy Eucharist with special prayers for healing. This is a wonderful, sacred time during the week to pause, to be present, and to pray for our fellow parishioners and for our neighbors. It is a powerful ministry of presence and prayer that we offer to each other, giving hope to those who suffer from any illness of mind, body, or spirit. If you have some extra time during your lunch hour, your presence can mean so much to others as we pray together for the whole Cathedral community. Join us on Wednesdays if you are able!

"Pews to Chairs" Project
For many decades now, pews have been replaced by chairs in countless cathedrals and churches across the Episcopal Church and the world with remarkable success.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. (See the above picture of Chester Cathedral, UK.)
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!
To donate: Please download the chair donation form HERE, complete it, and make your check payable to Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. Please make sure to write “Pews to Chairs” in the memo line. Mail checks and forms to: Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, 464 NE 16th Street, Miami, FL 33132.
Please reach out to Father Jason 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.
