Admissions Newsletter FEATURED PROGRAM

Office of Chaplaincy The Episcopal school tradition, whose mission is to honor the dignity of every human being, provides the framework for Trinity’s chapel service that often engages with other world religions and cultures. Trinity’s Chapel program is a place where we can reflect upon our interior lives as well as express ourselves to the wider community and the world.

FEATURED PODCAST

Cyrus R. K. Patell ’79 This podcast features alumnus author Cyrus R. K. Patell, class of 1979. Cyrus is professor of English at New York University in New York. He received his AB, AM, and PhD in English and American literature and language from Harvard University. His scholarship and teaching centers on the theory and practice of world literature; cosmopolitanism; Global Shakespeare; Star Wars; minority discourse theory; literary historiography; and US literary history.

The lighting of candles and the bowl tone, markers of a sacred time, begin and conclude each chapel service, and each service has a message conveyed through readings of literature, reflections, musical offerings, meditations, and prayers, considering the cares and needs of the school community, the city, and the world. In Grades Five through Twelve, students play a significant role imagining and crafting the weekly Chapel services, offering their own personal contributions with the support of the Chaplains and Chapel Team’s faculty and staff. Students have the opportunity to share with the community their unique voices and stories that touch on a universal, common good. While weekly divisional services take place in Trinity’s Hawley Chapel, chapels are expansive in their capacity and extend beyond the chapel walls. The Office of Chaplaincy is committed to cultivating good will and gratitude, inspiring students to do the same and shine their light.

His most recent book is Lucasfilm: Filmmaking, Philosophy, and the Star Wars Universe. LISTEN TO PODCAST
