The Celebration and Thanksgiving for the Episcopate of
The Right Reverend Calvin O. Schofield, Jr.

and for the Ministry of Elaine Schofield.

Trinity Episcopal Cathedral
Miami, FL
The Feast of Pentecost
June 11, 2000

Trinity Cathedral was full for the service honoring Bp. Schofield.

"Too loud!"
Elaine Schofield, seated with daughter Susan and son-in-law Parke Street,
tells grandson Christopher Street
that the loud organ music won't last much longer.

"I'm overwhelmed."
Bp. Schofield expresses thanks for the gifts presented from the Diocese
A Steuben crystal sculpture representing a sailboat, and a check for $26,000.

Bp. Schofield has joked
that he's trading his crozier for a boathook,
and friends made sure he got one appropriately purple.

Friends at the bishop's former parish, St. Andrew's, Miami,
remembered he'd said a picnic on the beach would be the ideal retirement party,
so they provided a hot dog and a bag of sand.

A surprise guest, the "Vatican emissary"
(Canon Fred Masterman) presented the bishop with such treasured relics as
"a chicken bone from the rooster that blew the whistle on St. Peter."
