Trinity Cathedral is an Episcopal cathedral located at 100 West Roosevelt Street in Phoenix, Arizona in the historic Roosevelt district.
History
Construction of the original Trinity Church located at 2nd Avenue and Washington Streets was announced in 1885. New property was purchased and plans made to relocate the church on West Roosevelt Street. A quadrangle model was adopted to form the Cathedral Close. On one side was the Cathedral House, completed in 1915. On the second side was the Cathedral Nave with first services held Christmas Day of 1920. On the third side was Atwood Hall, completed in 1931. In 1988, Trinity Cathedral was accepted as the Cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona.
The church served as the base of many Episcopal missions to areas of the western United States.
Music & Arts
The Cathedral Organ, built by the Schantz Organ Company of Orville, Ohio, is a four manual 71-rank pipe organ. In addition to being an integral part of worship services, it is also used by organ students at Arizona State University.[1] The Cathedral piano is a hand-crafted Bösendorfer concert grand from Vienna, Austria. The Cathedral's music program consists of three choirs; The Choristers (children's choir), the Cathedral Women’s Ensemble, and the Cathedral Choir.
Trinity Cathedral is home to the Cathedral Center for the Arts (CCA), a non-profit organization that hosts concerts and exhibits in the Olney Gallery located on the lower floor of Cathedral House. The Olney Gallery is one of the participants of Phoenix's First Friday Art Walk.[2]
