Racial Inventory Team
The purpose of Trinity’s racial inventory is to tell the story of how, over the years, the Trinity Cathedral congregation has and has not addressed racial justice. And, because Trinity is not only a local parish but also the Cathedral of the Diocese of Ohio, the racial inventory will also examine how the Diocese has and has not addressed racial justice and how that has affected the life of the Cathedral congregation. Our goal is to do this in a way that builds community based on an honest accounting of where we have come from, where we are now, and where our current commitments may lead us.
Urban Farm

Take Part in Worship
Worship Ministries
Each week, Trinity holds numerous services, each of which requires the time and talent of volunteers who help in many ways.
This includes choir members, lectors, altar guild/sacristans, vergers, greeters, ushers, acolytes, and flower guild members.
Flower Guild
Trinity’s Flower Guild creates beautiful floral arrangements for worship and special occasions.
Altar Guild
Along with the vergers, this group ensures that the cathedral is ready for worship.
Ushers
Welcome and assist members and visitors. Ushers ensure that no one feels like a stranger at Trinity.
Vergers
Trinity’s vergers guide and oversee the lay liturgical ministers – from acolytes to sacristans – who make our worship services possible, and work to make sure our multilayered liturgies run smoothly.
Acolytes
Youth and adult acolytes assist the clergy during worship services, assisting in procession, during the proclamation of the Gospel and the celebration of the sacraments.
Young people in grade 5 are invited to train as acolytes. Youth acolytes are from grades 6–12.
Lectors
This group reads the Scripture lessons and prayers for Sunday services, Choral Evensong and special services.
