The Cathedral of the Incarnation is an Episcopal cathedral in the Guilford neighborhood of 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 and Sunday School rooms.
