Trinity Episcopal Cathedral!
Trinity is an urban congregation of 1,500 members who live in neighborhoods all over the greater Portland area. We are a people committed to worshipping God, nurturing Christian community, and proclaiming the Gospel by working for justice and peace in the world. The Cathedral is known in the broader community for superb music, broad educational programming for all ages, and outreach ministries to the city and beyond. Trinity is also home to the Trinity Bookstore and the Center for Spiritual Development. Since the pioneer days of the Oregon Trail, Trinity has been among the largest Episcopal congregations in the Pacific Northwest.

FREE and Open to the ALL
The Trinity Cathedral Choir
Michael Kleinschmidt, Organist and Conductor
Gerre Hancock, the guest artist scheduled to lead us in a hymn festival on February 5, died peacefully on Saturday, January 21, from cardiac arrest. As a life-long church musician, Dr. Hancock inspired people to sing. Nothing would please him more than for us to gather, as planned, to raise the roof of Trinity Cathedral in song on Sunday, February 5 at 5:00 p.m. While Dr. Hancock cannot be with us as organist, he will certainly be with us in spirit! The hymn festival will be led by Michael Kleinschmidt, Canon for Cathedral Music at Trinity with the Trinity Cathedral Choir. Mr. Kleinschmidt was deeply formed by his work as Dr. Hancock’s assistant at St. Thomas Church, New York City, 1990-1993.
Tri Faith Dialogue-Concepts of Sin
Tuesday, February 7, 7 p.m., St. Mary’s Cathedral, FREE
With Rev. Patrick Brennan, Pastor, St. Mary’s Cathedral Parish; Rabbi Michael Cahana, Congregation Beth Israel; and Trinity's own the Very Rev. Dr. William Lupfer
Every faith tradition reflects upon the human condition and its tendency toward sin…where does it come from? Where is free will? How reliable is my conscience? And if we do sin, how is one reconciled to self, others, and God? Come hear how three faith traditions-Roman Catholicism, Episcopalian, and Reformed Judaism-respond to sin and its aftermath.
St. Mary's Cathedral is located at 1716 NW Davis St., Portland.
Longing for Spring?
Trinity Music Invites You to a first-time Special Event
BE GONE DULL CARE
Sunday, February 19 at 5:00 pm
Trinity Music will offer a beautiful, provocative expression of the passage from darkness to light, anxiety to hope, folding to flowering, with local artists including Portland Cello Project, Cappella Romana, In Mulieribus, violinist Adam LaMotte, Oregon Symphony oboist Martin Hebert & Oregon's Poet Laureate, Paulann Petersen.
"Be Gone, Dull Care" promises a fresh musical experience at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral - one which builds upon the flavor of the well-known New Year's Eve programs of previous years. A newly designed performance installation - utilizing many parts of the Cathedral space, in various sound and light configurations - is designed to take the audience on a journey out of the depths of darkness and winter, through our longing for the light of spring, and into the reaching and flowering hope of the future.
"Be Gone, Dull Care" features music by J.S. Bach, Hildegard von Bingen and Karen P. Thomas, among many represented composers, words by W.H. Auden, Gerard Manley Hopkins and Oregon's own Poet Laureate Paulann Peterson read by Ms. Peterson and other guests, and staging and lighting elements designed by stage director and event producer Stephen Marc Beaudoin.
Doors open at 4:00 p.m. Arrive early!
