National Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated every year in the United States from September 15 to October 15. We celebrate the achievements, stories, traditions, and cultural diversity of Hispanic/Latino Americans. This is a time to highlight the contributions of this large and diverse community in the United States. But our Hispanic heritage encompasses much more than just one month. Being Hispanic/Latino in the United States also represents being part of a community that has strived to prove its worth through its work, heart, warmth, and human qualities.
Every day when we turn on the television or the radio, we see and hear about many people seeking refuge. Many arrive through the jungles, forests, and desert roads, or by sea, risking terrible danger just to reach the place where they hope for a better and dignified life. This celebration reminds us that we have the possibility to respect and learn to coexist with different cultures within the same country.
| |
|
This leads us to reflect on the importance of mutual acceptance between cultures, respect for their customs, beliefs, and traditions, which help to increase the cultural capital of a country. It is an invitation to achieve a common understanding where peace and tolerance are its two fundamental pillars. Hispanics in the United States are increasingly united by what gives us identity, celebrating their history, culture, and roots. All Latinos, despite their localities and differences, recognize each other as part of a strong, united, warm, and festive community that has earned a place in the history of the United States.
There are so many reasons for Latinos to be proud and continue to contribute immensely to this country. As we honor our roots and share our culture, we remember that we are an integral part of the history and fabric of America. Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!
Our diocesan celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month will be Saturday, October 14th from 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. at Saint Mary Magdalene & Saint Martin Church, 1400 Riverside Drive, Coral Springs, FL 33166.
Many blessings,
The Reverend Rafael Garcia

"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For many decades now, pews have been replaced by chairs in countless cathedrals and churches across the Episcopal Church and the world with remarkable success.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.
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.
