A Message from the Provost
| |
Dear Trinity Cathedral,
Thank you to everyone who attended and helped with the Cathedral’s 2021 annual meeting. The following members were elected to the Cathedral Chapter:
Marianna Jimenez Ruz
Ed Hibshman
Jose Carlos Goncalves
Tony Major
Irene Canizares
Norma Rodriguez
The following members were appointed as Committee Chairs:
Music - Paul Schwab and Ingrid Gonzales
Finance – Gene Walton
Liturgy – Tom Porto and Cecelia Ocampo
Pastoral Care - Lilly Mena and Rolando Alegret
Buildings & Grounds – Tom Cunningham
Other appointments will be made in the next few weeks. It will take some time for people to get oriented in their respective areas of ministry, so I ask for your patience. I am confident that effective and strong leadership will help guide Trinity into a new and vibrant chapter of ministry for the Lord.
The 2022 budget approved by the chapter at the January 12th meeting is available on the Trinity website, via link in this E-News and at the Cathedral office. Quarterly updates will be presented to the congregation and our treasurer, Mr. Tom Berger, is available to answer any questions you might have.
As the pandemic continues, the challenges that confront us as individuals and as a community remain. I pray that we all have the patience and strength to live each day as best we can, and that we remain mindful of those less fortunate than ourselves and that God continues to turn our hearts to serve them.
Sincerely,
Fr. Jason Leo

Epiphany 2022
Global Partnership
| |
|
“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you… Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.” (Isaiah 60:1, 3, NRSV)
Epiphany is the time of the church year when we celebrate the revealing of Christ to the world. During this season, we celebrate the arrival of the One who is the light of the world: a light that brings life, a light that brings hope. This light shines its brightest when we are in community —with God and with one another.
This year, we celebrate this season and the worldwide community to which we as Episcopalians belong—the Anglican Communion. 2021 is an especially good time to celebrate our connections to the Communion, as we celebrate 100 years of the Good Friday Offering, 20 years of the Young Adult Service Corps, General Convention, and the Lambeth Conference. We hope you will join us in celebrating and rejoicing with our siblings in Christ around the world.
The Office of Global Partnerships of The Episcopal Church invites individuals, small groups, congregations, and dioceses to use this video series throughout the season of Epiphany to draw closer to each other and our Lord. Our weekly videos include a “lectio divina”-style study on the Gospel passage for each Sunday, read by Episcopalians and Anglican Communion partners from around the world. You will hear the passage read at least twice and a short reflection offered by the partners. Then, you will be invited to do your own reflection individually or as a group.
Watch the intro video below ...

Illuminations
The readings from the Sunday scriptures are often a mystery in that context and meaning are often a struggle to discern. Hopefully the following reflections on the weekly readings will give clarity and enhance our common worship. Follow the link to the coming weeks passages and even previous weeks as well.

It is more blessed to give than to receive
Non-perishable Food Item Collection
It is often the case that people come to Trinity seeking assistance, and more specifically food. These are difficult times and many struggle to make ends meet. Our ability to do direct outreach is limited because of the pandemic. When you come on Sundays, please consider bringing one or more items of canned or boxed food. We will ask God's blessing upon the offerings every week and then see that they are distributed to individuals and to local food pantries. I pray that we can all approach this enthusiastically and with generosity, mindful of the words of Jesus...
Items to consider include canned goods, peanut butter, packaged cereals, paper products, dish and laundry soaps, and boxed dinners. Please remember that we can not accept expired food or items that need refrigeration.

Ministry of a Lector
During worship, lectors assist in being the transmitters of God’s Word, reading the Old Testament and New Testament lessons in the context of our liturgy. When we take our place at the lectern and open the Bible to read, we are no less actors – storytellers of God’s Story. We strive to re-create, through their lines written thousands of years ago, to bring the Word of God alive to our world in the 21st century. At Trinity, lectors also serve as Intercessors, leading the congregation in the Prayers of the People.
Trinity is also looking for those interested in serving as a greeter / usher. A smiling face and warm welcome are all you need. If you feel called to either or both of these ministries, please contact Fr. Leo at office@trinitymiami.org or Thomas Porto at thomas44a@gmail.com.
