For those planning a wedding at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral or in celebration or recognition of other special events, the Miami Guild of Change Ringers is available to ring the tower bells. Proceeds from this service are used to assist in the upkeep of the eight bells, the ropes used to ring them, and the tower. 

Following construction of a tower adjacent to Trinity Episcopal Cathedral narthex, a ring of eight bells was commissioned from the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in England. The Patterson Memorial ring of eight bells was cast and hung by Whitechapel Bell Foundry and dedicated in 1984. These were installed and dedicated on December 4, 1984. The largest bell weighs 2007 pounds and the smallest weighs 558 pounds.
