In  addition  to  the  Sunday Liturgy, major religious holidays and special

At  its  inception  on	February  3,  2002,  Cathedral	Dean  Father Robert
Stephanopoulos	announced  that  "the  Holy  Trinity Cathedral has a unique
opportunity  to achieve another major milestone in its illustrious 110 year
history,  the  live  television  broadcast of the weekly Sunday Liturgy and
major religious holidays beginning with Good Friday, Easter and Christmas."

A  call-in  poll  conducted  two  successive  Sundays  in May engendered an
immediate  positive  response  from  a diverse audience, old and young, but
particularly  the  homebound,  elderly	and  disabled, who for a variety of
reasons are not able to get to church. Many also noted that they watch when
they are not able to attend church on a particular Sunday.
