Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, Episcopal cathedral in Northwest District, Portland, United States.
Trinity Episcopal Cathedral stands at 147 NW 19th Avenue in Portland's Northwest District, not downtown. The congregation has worshipped in this building since its consecration on October 14, 1906, after fire damaged the previous church at Sixth and Oak. The stained glass windows are the work of the Charles J. Connick Studios of Boston and date from the late 1940s.
Trinity Episcopal Church was organized on May 18, 1851 by the Rev. St. Michael Fackler and the Rev. William Richmond, the first Episcopal congregation in the Oregon Territory. Its 1872 building at Sixth and Oak burned in 1902, and the congregation moved to NW 19th Avenue, where the present church was consecrated on October 14, 1906. Bishop Robert Louis Ladehoff consecrated it as a cathedral on November 19, 1993, and it was renamed on February 17, 1994.
The name Trinity comes from the congregation organized on May 18, 1851 by the Rev. St. Michael Fackler and the Rev. William Richmond, the first Episcopal congregation in the Oregon Territory. The parish founded Good Samaritan Hospital in 1873. Portland mayor Ted Wheeler, whose mother was a member, attends occasionally.
The building is located in downtown Portland and is accessible on foot, with regular Sunday services held throughout the year. Visitors should check ahead about current events and programs, as offerings may vary seasonally.
The chancel window of the 1872 church, a memorial to Bishop Thomas F. Scott, survived the 1902 fire and now hangs in the east wall of the present cathedral. The stained glass windows by Charles J. Connick Studios of Boston date from the late 1940s.
