Dear Members,

As of yesterday, July 22nd, Essex County moved up to the “Very High Risk” or “Red Category” for COVID-19 infection rate. As a result, the Diocese is advising that all Essex County parishes not open this Sunday, July 25th, for in-person worship services or meetings.

Therefore, our service for this Sunday at the Cathedral is being cancelled. The service will be on Zoom only. The bulletin will be emailed to you with the same Zoom information that we use each Sunday.

The cancelling of the in-person worship service is in compliance with state regulations and is being done for our safety and welfare.

Faithfully,
Wardens
Eric Ofosuhene and Gordon Nelson Jr.

Diocesan Communion November 8, 2020

TSP Cathedral’s steeple rises above the fall trees. The Men of Trinity set up for communion in the parking lot behind 2 Park Place. The Diocesan Prayers of the People, prayer sheet and consecrated wafers are placed on the table. Our Eucharistic Visitors are set to begin their journey to distribute contact free communion to those at home.

Parishioners and Canon Clark came on foot and in their cars to receive the Body of Christ.
