Welcome to the
Cathedral of the Incarnation
Web Site
 
The essence of the Cathedral of the Incarnation is not the brick and mortar out of which it is built; it is instead, the people who identify with it and who are bonded together by a common faith and a united sense of mission.

Our parish is a thriving community of more than 2,300 families representing more than 4,800 individuals in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee. The average age of our members is 35 although there is a good representation of individuals in their forties and older!  In this website you will find the breath of ministries active in this dynamic parish. The diversity of our ministries and parishioners is a reflection of God’s gift of Life.

The people of Cathedral rely on one another to build our parish, but their support extends much further than our corner on West End Ave.  Cathedral parishioners are active in outreach throughout our community and beyond our borders as we strive to reflect the Gospel message that “God so loved the world.”

We welcome you to our website. We hope it allows you to gain insight into the Cathedral of the Incarnation Parish Community.

May God bless you and strengthen you in mission and service.


Reverend Patrick J. Kibby
Pastor, Cathedral of the Incarnation

BREAD FOR THE WORLD OFFERING OF LETTERS

S. budget that will give people in poor countries skills and opportunities to break the cycle of poverty permanently.  These include long-term investments in education, agriculture, nutrition, health and clean water.  Please plan to give a few minutes after Mass on May 17-18 to write a short letter in support of this worthy cause.  Today's Adult Formation Class at 9:45 a.m. in St. Albert Hall, room 303, will provide more information on Bread for the World and the need for improved development assistance.

PARISH NURSES COMMITTEE
The effects of a stroke depend primarily on the location of the obstruction and the extent of brain tissue affected.  Brain injury from a stroke can affect the senses, motor activity, speech and the ability to understand speech.  Paralysis or weakness on one side of the body is common.  After a stroke most of these problems can improve over time.  In some patients they will go away completely.
