Meditation and Contemplative Prayer: Online
Tuesdays, 8:15pm to 8:45pm
In this time of unprecedented uncertainty and stress we would like to invite you to pray with us by participating in an online version of our Tuesday night contemplative prayer service. We will practice making conscious contact with God by showing up as we are, gathering all of our fears, anxieties, and life circumstances that need special care, and simply bringing them to God. Our time together will include a guided meditation based on an ancient monastic prayer practice, time for intercession, silence, and beautiful ancient chants.
To join us, go to the Zoom app and enter Meeting ID 263 033 638 and Password 445381. Immediately following our practice, you are invited to stay for Compline (Night Prayer).

Operation Feed the Front!
We have raised over $47,000 and are less than $3,000 away from our fundraising goal. Can you help? Click here to donate
Dear Supporters of Operation Feed the Front,
Thanks to you, we continue to provide over 1,000 meals a week to hospitals in Queens and Nassau counties as the volume of Covid 19 patients is declining day by day. The need continues, and essential workers at hospitals across our area continue to serve heroically and selflessly.
This documentary released by the NY Times provides a glimpse of life in one of the hospitals we have been serving week after week. St. John’s Episcopal Hospital in Far Rockaway is a New York safety net hospital and the only hospital on the Rockaway Peninsula. Thanks to you, we have served hot meals to the people in this film week after week.
We are grateful for your support. As we continue to support these workers as well as communities with significant food insecurity, please consider a donation to sustain this effort.
Snacks for The INN: Drop off available
Our partners at The INN continue to serve bagged lunches to 300-500 guests every day. They are most in need right now of individual snacks to include in the lunch bags such as individual bags of chips, cookies, and juice boxes.
There are three ways you can help:
- Order from Costco, BJ's, Peapod, etc. and set to deliver to The Mary Brennan INN.
- Order from The INN's Amazon Wishlist and choose The Mary Brennan INN as the delivery address.
- If you prefer to purchase and drop off at the cathedral, we will be taking donations on:
Saturday 5/23, Sunday 5/24 and Monday 5/25
10:00am - 12:00 pm
3:00pm - 5:00pm
During this time, you can bring your donations to the porch at See House. We expect you to keep at least six feet apart and wear a mask while on cathedral property. You can drive in by the south entrance at 4th Street near Cathedral Avenue to access the porch and drive out via the north entrance at Cathedral Avenue and 6th Street.
Flower Memorials
Each week the tower entryway to the Cathedral will be prepared with flowers, the High Altar Cross, prayers and a weekly meditation. It is an opportunity for all “who pass our way” to stop for reflection and prayer. If you would like to remember your loved ones, offer thanksgiving or honor someone please email Shirley at cathedral@incarnationgc.org.
