From our new Director of Music and Organist, Andrew Cooper | |
Dear friends and members of Trinity Cathedral,
I am tremendously excited to begin my work as your Director of Music and Organist this Sunday. I will strive to contribute heartfelt, meaningful, and carefully considered music to your worship services each week. Already, I have experienced what a welcoming and loving community you have at Trinity. It is a true privilege to belong there.
Music is a powerful, miraculous thing. I believe it can elevate the words of the service, prayers, or poetry to a greater level of holiness, and thereby truly enhance and deepen the act of worship. I also believe music is vital to the sense of togetherness and community we strive for in church. When we sing as a congregation, the music brings together not only our voices, but also our spirits, our hearts, and our breath. I invite you to live out those values as we begin this new chapter of music making at Trinity.
This is such an exciting time to be at Trinity Cathedral. We are in a moment of celebration, growth, and change. I am thrilled to be with you, and I hope you will get in touch with me if there is some way I can help you through the ministry of music.
I look forward to meeting more of you. I can’t guarantee I will remember your name at first, but I promise I will try!
With love,
Andrew

Mission-Focused Stewardship for 2025 | |
|
This week we officially launch our annual stewardship campaign in support of the mission and ministries of the Cathedral. We have a goal to raise $400,000 in pledges for 2025 so we can continue to grow in faith and reflect God’s grace and love in the heart of Miami.
Next year, we will celebrate the centennial of our beautiful cathedral building. We have amazing plans to mark this historic occasion in 2025 for both our church and the wider community. These first 100 years would not have been possible without the generations of Miamians who built and maintained this building as a living symbol of Christian hope and God's love in Downtown Miami. Now, it is our turn to continue the tradition and lay the foundation for the next 100 years as the spiritual center of Miami.
Please pledge generously to support the vital mission of this Cathedral community. The printable 2025 Stewardship pledge form can be downloaded here.
New this year, you can now make your 2025 Pledge online using our new, secure application called REALM!

Message to the Clergy and People from Bishop Eaton
Election Night Prayers
The Commemoration of James Hannington
29 October 2024
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
As we approach the election, we do so knowing that our Anglican tradition calls us to faithful and responsible citizenship. Our tradition expects us to vote in accordance with our assessment of the issues before the body politic and in accordance with our conscience. In this spirit, it is my earnest hope that every member of our diocese who is entitled to vote will do so. This is a duty, not a luxury or a choice.
This election comes at a time of great importance for our nation and for the world. As we cast our votes, I encourage you to reflect prayerfully on the issues before us and to seek the inspiration of God’s sustaining Spirit in making decisions that are formed by our commitment as Episcopalians to reach for the good, to seek and serve Christ in all persons, and to strive for justice and peace among all people and to respect the dignity of every human being.
In this spirit of prayerful discernment, we are invited to join Election Night Virtual Prayers on Tuesday, 5 November, from 8 to 10 p.m. ET, hosted by The Episcopal Church Office of Government Relations. This is an opportunity for us to gather with our fellow Episcopalians from across the Church, and to pray for our nation amid the choices and challenges that we face. Our Presiding Bishop will offer an opening reflection and prayer.
You can participate in the event by registering for Zoom or joining via the Facebook livestream. For those who would like simultaneous Spanish interpretation, please be sure to register for Zoom.

May we all continue to seek God’s wisdom, and may we all work for a more just and peaceful world.
With every blessing,
+Peter

Remember that we cannot accept expired food or items that need refrigeration.

"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 Twenty-fourth Sunday after Pentecost
All Saints' Day Observance
| | |
|
|
Do you know anyone who in thought, word, and deed points you toward a heavenly reality? How do they do that?
| |
|
When the Church comes together to celebrate the Feast of All Saints, I often imagine us as a family gathered at the cemetery to honor a cherished relative. Just as on Memorial Day we visit grandpa’s final resting place, on this day we celebrate those whom the Church recognizes as particularly notable examples of life in Christ. If on this holy day we gather at the grave of the saints at rest, then this reading from the wisdom literature is the epitaph on the headstone that lies before us. Contained within it is our Christian hope. The hope of eternal life stretches back even to the forebears of our Christian tradition, and for centuries that promise has been inscribed in our most sacred texts. It is such a promise that beckons us to this holy occasion.
