The Cathedral of the Incarnation is an Episcopal cathedral in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is the seat of the Diocese of Maryland.

History

Discussions about building a cathedral in the Diocese of Maryland took place at least as far back as the years William Paret was the bishop (1885–1911).[1] However, it was during the episcopate of John Gardner Murray that the cathedral was built. For the first 35 years it was known as a pro-cathedral. The Diocese of Maryland passed a resolution establishing the Cathedral of the Incarnation on February 1, 1955, and it was consecrated on November 6, 1955.[2] The Cathedral House was built in 1967. It houses offices, the kindergarten and Sunday School rooms.
