This coming Wednesday is a very special day, for both the Anglican Church of Bermuda and for the Corporation of Hamilton, as they celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity.Work on the Cathedral commenced in 1885, following the fiery destruction of its predecessor, Trinity Church, which had stood on the same location.Constructed in a neo-Gothic style, the design of the building can be attributed to Scottish architect, William Hay, and his partner, George Henderson. Construction took more than 25 years, and it took an Act of Bermuda legislature in 1894 to give the incomplete church the status of Cathedral Church.Finally, on May 11, 1911, the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity was consecrated by Bishop of Newfoundland and Bermuda, Rev. Llewlynn Jones.To celebrate the centennial, the Archbishop of Canada, Fred Hiltz, will be visiting the island to conduct liturgy services tomorrow as well as the civil service on Wednesday, May 11.Bermuda has had a long relationship with the Anglican Church in Canada, as, from 1825 until 1976, the Bermuda church fell under the direct leadership of first the Bishop of Nova Scotia, and later the Bishop of Newfoundland, until the Bermuda church was, by legislation, declared independent.While visiting, Archbishop Hiltz said that he hoped, “to celebrate with [the church] a sense of connectedness with the wider church, and to help them feel and celebrate that they are supported by the wider Anglican Community.”The two services, according to Anglican Bishop of Bermuda, Patrick White, have two different purposes:“The Sunday is the time for the Anglican Community to come together to celebrate, while the Civic service, to which all the dignitaries are invited, it’s not about church, its about the church in the world. It’s really a way of stating that the Cathedral is here for the community, not just the religiously minded.”Archbishop Hiltz will be presiding over the 8am and 10am services at the Cathedral tomorrow, while the centenary service is scheduled to begin at 6pm on Wednesday.Don’t miss The Royal Gazette’s special supplement on the Cathdral’s 100th anniversary, which will be published on Tuesday.
