Looking Back in Time at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral | Aerial view of the Cathedral and parish hall in 1969, with the Miami Herald building in the background | As the planning of the 2025 Centennial Anniversary of our historic Trinity Cathedral building begins to ramp up, the Centennial Planning Committee is looking back into the past one hundred years of history. Since the construction of the Cathedral in 1925, there have been many changes in the interior and exterior of the building itself, on the property surrounding the Cathedral, and on the adjacent properties in the neighborhood. | Easter Day, April 1, 1934 | |

The Centennial Committee is busy converting hard copy pictures to digital format, and we plan to display many of these historic photographs a part of the Centennial celebrations next year. So many of these pictures capture the wonderful spirit a of faithful Christian community that has endured many changes and challenges, both growth and decline, both joy and sorrow. My hope is that the history represented in these pictures will inspire us and encourage us to embrace a new path forward, understanding our past and having hope for the future. Please enjoy these pictures, and stay tuned for more in the coming weeks and months!
If you would like to join the Centennial Committee, please email me at frjason@trinitymiami.org.

Honoring Bill Hopper
On Sunday, October 27th we will honor and thank Bill Hopper for his service at Trinity Cathedral.

Bill has been a faithful parishioner of the Cathedral since 1980, and he was the part-time organist from 1990-2005. Bill's dedication and love for Trinity Cathedral have helped sustain our music program for decades, and we are extremely grateful.
On October 27th we will present Bill with a check to honor his service to the Cathedral. If you would like to donate to this gift for Bill, please do so. Checks can be made payable to Trinity Cathedral with "Bill Hopper" in the memo line, and donations can be made online here by selecting "Other" in the dropdown menu and writing "Bill Hopper" in the Comment box. Thank you for helping us make this financial gift for Bill possible!

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For many decades now, pews have been replaced by chairs in countless cathedrals and churches across the Episcopal Church and the world with remarkable success.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

What is wealth? What are the different ways of defining wealth? How do we cope with our own wealth in light of the Christian calling? | |
|
Life is full of paradoxes, maybe even to the point where it is inconsistent and incoherent. It is in tension not only between the normative and the descriptive, the actual and the potential, the being and yet to be in human life, but also between God’s absoluteness and God’s love of all.
