Our New Online Cathedral Directory is Here! |  | |
Our new online directory for the Trinity Cathedral community called "Realm Connect" is finally ready for launch! Not only will Realm improve work life for our clergy, staff, and Chapter, it will make it easier for our Cathedral family to connect with each other, keep up with what’s going on, and grow as a connected community. (The "Realm Connect" online directory will replace the old printed, spiral-bound booklet that the Cathedral used for many years.) And in the coming months, we will also begin to connect your pledge and giving records through Realm so that you can track your financial contributions to the Cathedral in an easy and completely secure and confidential way using the app.
But in order for the launch of the Realm Connect directory to be successful, we need your help! Here are the steps to get started:
Step 1 - Download the "Realm Connect" mobile app
Every member of the Cathedral community will need to first download the free "Realm Connect" mobile app on your phone or other device. Here are the links to the App Store (iPhone or iPad) or the GooglePlay Store (Android) to download the app:

Step 2 - Check your email, and then log in to your Realm account using the Realm Connect app
In the next few days, you should receive an email invitation to log into your Realm account on the app. Be sure to check the email account that you have on file with the Cathedral. (If you don't receive an email, please let us know so that we can add yours in the system.) Once you receive the email invitation, you can log in to your Realm account and create a new password.
Step 3 - Update your Realm profile
Everyone at the Cathedral gets a unique profile. Your profile contains everything you want people in our church to know about you. Your profile also enables you to join a small group, RSVP to events, track your giving (coming soon!), update your contact information, change family details, set notification preferences, or replace that outdated photo.
By keeping your information current, you are helping our staff, clergy, and our entire Cathedral community. Your Profile includes:
- Contact Information* (e.g. name, address, email, phone)
- Photo - please upload a current photo of yourself!
- Family Members
- Personal Information (e.g. marital status, birthday**, etc.)
- Connected Social Media accounts
*You can decide later what data you want to hide online by setting your privacy preferences.
**Feel free to enter your full birthday. The year and your age will not be displayed on your Cathedral directory profile.
Realm Privacy - Your information is your information!
- You have complete control over who can see your contact and personal information.
- Contact information is never public or searchable on the Internet. Any information you elect to make visible to your church family is always protected behind a login.
- Authorized staff will always have access to your profile information.
- You and authorized staff may update your profile information. In some cases, your group leader may update your contact information if you have made it visible to group leaders.
- For safety reasons, sharing contact and personal information for children under 18 is limited. Parents determine whether or not to display their child’s name in the church directory.
- Children under 13 may not participate and will not be able to sign in.
- Privacy Settings - If you choose to, you can make your information visible to the entire Cathedral community. But if you prefer to be more private, you can customize how people see specific information. You control your own Privacy Settings. Everyone in the Cathedral community will only be able to see whatever profile information is "marked as visible" to everyone.
Chapter members, clergy, staff, and volunteers will be available to help you if you need assistance with setting up your profile. We can help you over the phone, during the week in the Cathedral office, or after services on Sundays.
The launch of Realm is a truly exciting step into the future at Trinity Cathedral. Thank you for doing your part to help us get it up and running!

These are difficult times and many struggle to make ends meet. When you come on Sundays, please consider bringing one or more items of canned or boxed food. Items to consider include canned goods, peanut butter, packaged cereals, paper products, bottled water, dish and laundry soaps, boxed dinners, toiletry items, and feminine hygiene products. Remember that we cannot accept expired food or items that need refrigeration.

The LGBTQ+ ministry has organized an on-going Gift Card collection drive to aid in the purchase of perishable food items for food pantry recipients. These cards are distributed on a weekly basis to families and individuals in need. To continue to help this cause or if you or someone you know could benefit from this ministry, please contact Roberto Soto at:

"Pews to Chairs" Project
There is still time to donate a chair!
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 Trinity's new cathedral chairs which arrived the week before Christmas.)
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 or 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.
Online donations can also be made on the Cathedral website (www.trinitymiami.org) under the “Giving” tab – please be sure to choose the “Pews to Chairs Campaign” on the dropdown menu to designate your donation.
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.
