The Very Rev. Troy D. Mendez, Dean
“He will feed his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms, and carry them in his bosom, and gently lead the mother sheep.”
Isaiah 40:11
Thanks to your commitment, your diligent effort, and your love and care to safeguard our community in the best way possible, today’s announcement comes with my sincerest gratitude for all of you.
Effective Sunday, August 1,
I am pleased to announce the following changes at all worship services:
Communion will be offered in both kinds, bread and wine.
In accordance with the regulations of our diocese, we will offer Holy Communion in the form of both bread and wine at all services of the Holy Eucharist. Consuming the wine will be limited to the practice of intinction, per our diocesan rules. However, all will be welcome to consume both bread and wine as we partake of the Sacrament of Christ’s body and blood. Of course, some may want to only receive in one kind, and that is perfectly acceptable as well!
All will be invited forward to receive the Eucharist at the communion rail.
Communion will be offered at our beautiful communion rail, with our unique needlepoint kneeling cushions. We have four kneelers on each side of the nave. At this time, please limit each kneeler to 1 person per kneeler (instead of our “normal” 2 people per kneeler). If you feel uncomfortable coming forward for communion, simply make your wish known to an usher and we will bring communion to you in the pew. All communion ministers will be masked when they offer you the Sacrament.
Masks will be welcomed for all people, but not required for the vaccinated.
This is a significant shift, and after great consideration and study of our diocesan guidelines, we are allowed to welcome the wearing of masks for all people, but we do not have to require masks for those who are vaccinated against COVID-19.
Coffee Hour after church will begin in phases, with cold beverages offered on August 1.
After church on August 1, you’ll encounter an offering of ice cold water and iced tea. Trinity’s abundant “coffee hour” spreads will resume after worship on September 12. Want to assist with hospitality? Email us at office@trinitycathedral.com
The Sunday morning Bible study group will resume in-person gathering.
Starting at 8:55 a.m. on August 1, the Sunday morning Bible study group invites you to meet in the upstairs Conference Room for a one hour lively discussion.
All of these changes are in-line with the guidelines published periodically by the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona. View guidelines
Please know that your staff and clergy are committed to your safety and well-being, and I am available to discuss any aspect of these changes with you. To schedule a phone call or a meeting, simply email or call:

Just as Isaiah prophesied almost 3,000 years ago, the Living God, who we know most fully in Jesus our Good Shepherd, continues to gather the lambs in his arms, and leads them home. We are in the process of re-gathering, and with God’s help, we will realize a bright future living more fully into Trinity’s mission: Welcoming all to be transformed in Christ, through worship, fellowship, and service.
In Christ’s peace,

Trinity's Spanish-Speaking Community at
Chapel Rock
The Rev. Rosa Brown and members of Trinity's Spanish-speaking community attended a family weekend at Chapel Rock. The time was spent in worship, fellowship, and learning. Everyone had a wonderful time getting to know more about the Episcopal Church, our diocese, and the love that God has for all of us. Thank you for your prayers and your representation of Trinity Cathedral! We are proud of you!

Last Day for water
drop off is this Sunday July 25th
The Heat is On!
It was 116F or so in the past week and promises to be hot again in the weeks ahead. Our friends who are homeless really struggle in this heat, but we can help keep them safe and hydrated. We are once again collecting water. The Cathedral will keep enough cases to give water to those who show up at our doors in need. We also will be donating to the cooling stations that the Arizona Faith Network is coordinating this year. If you can help, we can accept deliveries during business hours and on Sundays.
If you have questions or need help with your donation, please email here

“For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat…”
Matthew 25:35
As the Cathedral begins to reopen, you can deliver shelf-stable food items to the Cathedral’s Atwood Hall during summer office hours and Sundays.
New Pantry Needs:
- Pasta, all kinds, Mac & Cheese
- Beans
- Other canned items, such as tomatoes, vegetables, Fruit, Tuna, Chicken
- Rice
- Fruit cups, Peanut Butter, Jelly
- Cereal
- Powdered Milk
We are currently distributing food twice a month, each family receiving a combination of protein, fruit and vegetables, and pasta. Each extra bag of food given out costs
approximately 20 dollars. So please do not feel you need to bring a table full of food (though we love getting all that food!), just a bag with a selection from the items above. Please avoid glass jars if you can, as the bags get heavy.
Want to help at the Food Pantry? Volunteers needed!
We will be sorting, packing, and stacking food items two Thursdays per month from 8:30am – 10:30am at the Garfield School 811 N. 13th street location. To volunteer or if you need further information, please contact the Rev. Myra Kingsley below.

We stayed apart from each other this last year or so to keep ourselves and our beloved
community safe and well. Now, as we slowly begin to resume our lives together, it is even more important that we are all vaccinated.
The Lord created medicines out of the earth, and the sensible will not despise them.
Ecclesiasticus 38:4
