Trinity Episcopal Church became Trinity Cathedral in 1927 and serves in that capacity today. The 1967 fire destroyed some windows along the sides of the nave, but they were replaced. The windows at the ends of the church are from 1872. The Cathedral has services daily as part of its charter.
The following is from the Cathedral's history web page: (

"1967 — A disastrous fire swept through the church. As a result, it was decided to modernize the church. The location of the altar was changed from under the three windows at the rear of the chancel, making a free-standing altar and placing the choir and the organ to the rear. New windows replaced the side ones destroyed by the fire. A 14-foot suspended cross, made of steel, glass, and aluminum (in honor of Pittsburgh’s major industries), was installed above the new altar."
