History

Construction of the original Trinity Church located at 2nd Avenue and Washington Streets was announced in 1885. New property was purchased, and plans were completed by the firm of Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge of Boston 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 1914, Trinity Parish was designated to serve as the pro-cathedral for the Missionary Jurisdiction of Arizona and following the designation of the missionary jurisdiction as a diocese in 1959, Trinity became the fourth true cathedral of the Episcopal Church under the full control of the bishop and chapter in 1988, joining Grace Cathedral of San Francisco, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City and the Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul in Washington, D.C. Most US cathedrals of the Episcopal Church in the United States (as was Trinity Cathedral from 1914 to 1988) are parishes designated as pro-cathedrals appointed to serve as the seat (cathedra) for the bishop. The church served as the base of several Episcopal missions in the metro Phoenix area. These included St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Glendale, AZ; All Saints' Episcopal Church, Phoenix, Az; St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Phoenix, AZ (today San Pablo Mission), and Christ Church of the Ascension, Paradise Valley, AZ.Archives Episcopal Diocese of Arizona, Arizona State University Library and Archives
