Choral Evensong: 500 Years of Tradition

Beginning on September 15th, Trinity Cathedral kicks off its 2024-25 "Music in the Cathedral" schedule which includes a monthly service of Choral Evensong (see the full schedule below). Choral Evensong dates back to the 16th century and was first published in the 1549 Book of Common Prayer. This now ancient service of our Anglican music tradition is alive and well in the Episcopal Church today. Here at Trinity Cathedral our service of Choral Evensong is adapted from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and is sung by the Anglican Chorale of Southeast Florida, under the direction of Mr. Christopher Harrell (Organist and Associate for Music & Liturgy at St. Philip's Episcopal Church in Coral Gables).

The order of service for Choral Evensong includes prayer, scripture lessons, psalms sung in the distinctive style of Anglican chant, hymns, and two sung canticles, the Magnificat (Song of Mary) and the Nunc Dimittis (Song of Simeon). Evensong is sung either daily, weekly, or monthly in Episcopal and Anglican cathedrals and large churches all over the world. Canterbury Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, and St. Paul’s Cathedral in London are examples of Choral Evensong at its very finest.

We have the great honor of singing Choral Evensong together here at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral from September through May each year. These choral worship services provide an opportunity to pause from the chaos of our daily lives in the candlelit beauty of our Cathedral and to worship in a way that is unique in all the world. If you have never experienced Evensong, please consider attending on Sunday, September 15 at 5:30 p.m. – you won’t regret it!


Many blessings,


Father Jason


The Very Reverend Jason Roberson

Cathedral Provost

Almighty God, you have so linked our lives one with another that all we do affects, for good or ill, all other lives: So guide us in the work we do, that we may do it not for self alone, but for the common good; and, as we seek a proper return for our own labor, make us mindful of the rightful aspirations of other workers, and arouse our concern for those who are out of work; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

We Welcome Two New Chapter Members!

In August we welcomed Mariana Hawayek and Rey Romero to the Cathedral Chapter!

Mariana Hawayek is a distinguished interior designer, with over 30 years of experience in transforming spaces into stunning and functional environments. Inspired by her belief in giving back to the community, she has collaborated with charitable organizations to serve underprivileged families and individuals. As a local within the Edgewater community, she is honored to assist and be of service to the community through new initiatives within Trinity Episcopal Cathedral.

Rey Romero has worked for Miami-Dade County since March of 1989 and has been an employee of the Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department since 2011, working for 13 years as a supervisor in the Inmate Reentry Bureau. He began attending Trinity Cathedral late in 2005, and over the years it has become a spiritual home for him, his mother, and his wife of 28 years, Teresa. Rey is committed to the work of the Cathedral through the sharing of the Gospel with the Holy Eucharist at the center of his faith.

"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.

The Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost



How have you felt the presence of God when honoring and loving your neighbors?



Statutes, ordinances, and commandments; I wonder what thoughts or feelings these words might stir up for you. For some, these words seem restrictive, and for others reassuring. One person takes note of the limitations and another the expectation.
