Dean McMillin appoints The Rev. Thomas Alexander as
our new Associate Rector!
Dear Friends,
This Sunday we will celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit descending upon the Church. As Paul writes in 1 Corinthians, “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord.” In this season of Pentecost, we are reminded that the life of the Church is shaped by the calling forth of those gifts for the sake of God’s mission.
One of the most meaningful parts of my role as your Dean is calling people into ministry and helping to form the teams that will live out the mission of this cathedral. Our clergy staff is central to that work, and we are blessed with an abundance of gifts among us, including Thomas Alexander, who has served as our curate since June 1, 2024.
Since my arrival, Thomas and I have had the opportunity to work closely together, and I have come to deeply appreciate his bright spirit, his encouraging and insightful preaching, and his engaging teaching. He is much beloved in this community, and his support of my ministry has already been a great gift. We make a good team.
So, it is with gratitude and confidence, and through intentional discernment with Thomas, that I am pleased to announce that I have called him to serve as Associate Rector of Trinity Cathedral, and he has accepted.
I believe this call offers an important sense of stability for us all, as well as a commitment to shared leadership and strong teamwork towards the future mission of the cathedral. I have spoken with Bishop Harmon and the Trinity Vestry, and all share in the joy of this appointment, as I am sure you do as well!
Thomas graduated from Virginia Theological Seminary in 2024 and was ordained to the priesthood here on September 21, 2024. His curacy here at Trinity Cathedral concludes on May 31, and he will begin this new role as Associate Rector on June 1. While his duties and ministry will continue in much the same way, we recognize and lift up his unique gifts of teaching, pastoral care, leadership, and preaching.
I am excited for this next chapter in the life of our cathedral as we continue to grow in strength, deepen our common life, and look ahead with hope. There is much to be grateful for, and much to come!
Faithfully,
Dean Andrea

Greetings from Our New Dean and News about the transition
December 15, 2025
Friends,
Advent is the season of preparation, and it is only fitting that during this season we now move into preparing for our new Dean and Rector to join us. The Vestry has appointed a transition committee and named me as Chair. The committee consists of Clarke Tucker, Ben Hussman, Gayle Corley, Lara Shock, Anna Squire, Michael McNeely, and Scott Whitfield.
Our main job is to assist our incoming Dean, the Rev. Canon Andrea McMillin, in any way we can, however our current focus is on liturgy, welcome, and general support. We will be reaching out to the Parish soon to assist and prepare for an enriching liturgical and warm welcome for her soon.
Please feel free to reach out to me or anyone on the committee if you have any questions or something specific you would like to help with. In the meantime, here is a quick video message from Dean-elect McMillin.
Prayers and best wishes for a beautiful Advent and Christmas,
Grant Wallace
