Introduction of a weekly Eucharist of Healing
Canon Mark would like to draw your attention to a new development in the pattern of weekly worship at the cathedral. While every Eucharist supports the healing actions of the Holy Spirit people have expressed their need for a Eucharist with a particular and principle focus on the sacrament of healing. In response we will be adding a second mid week Eucharist bringing this particular focus. A weekly 'Eucharist of Healing' will take place every Thursday between 5.30 and 6.30pm commencing on the 16th of September. This service will explore the use of contemplative forms of worship and music. We hope that many of you who have expressed an interest in our starting a Eucharist of Healing will support it with your attendance.

In the early 1970’s, several congregations were attempting to fill the many gaps in services to the working poor and homeless in the downtown area. St. Mary’s Basilica and the North Phoenix Corporate Ministries (comprised of various denominations, including Jewish congregations) had begun clothing banks. Historic First Presbyterian Church and Trinity Cathedral in Phoenix had been pressed into homeless service by the mid ‘70’s.
By 1982, largely through the efforts of Dr. Culver Nelson at the Church of the Beatitudes, Salt River Project was persuaded to donate half a store-front building at 315 N. 3rd Avenue. The clothing banks and emergency relief services were combined under the name Interfaith Cooperative Ministries.
In 1993, ICM had outgrown that space and needed more room to serve more people. A fund drive was held, and a warehouse was purchased at 501 S. 9th Ave., where ICM continues to provide services today.
The initial supporting congregations, plus about 30 more, are still counted among ICM’s “angels.”
A Carload of Thanks
Two carloads, actually, of household furnishings and clothing were delivered to needy Bhutanese refugee families thanks to Bitsy Susich, with support from Rob Smith and Karin Ransden. The refugee family supported by Trinity has turned into a refugee community at their apartment complex who benefits greatly from items many of us are looking to give away. This is a continuing need, so if you have useable stuff that you’re looking to move on, drop it by the Trinity Outreach Ministry collection bin in Atwood Hall or contact Karin at
