We Grow

Cathedral Choir Camp 2024

The annual Choir Camp for current and new cathedral choristers will take place at the end of August, from Monday, August 26 – Friday, August 30, from 10:00 – 3:00 daily. Held at the Mercer School of Theology, camp is a wonderful time of singing, learning about music theory and history, having group voice training, along with lots of fun throughout the day. The week prepares current and incoming choristers for the beginning of the season, which will start in mid-September.

If your child is entering second grade or higher and is interested in being part of the week, please contact Larry Tremsky, director of music at the Cathedral, for more information on this wonderful opportunity for musical growth. His email is ltremsky@incarnationgc.org. The choristers are not simply a fine musical ensemble, they are also a community of kind, supportive children who work well together.

Service League Recipients

Service League Grants Awarded

The Cathedral of the Incarnation is pleased to announce the recipients of this year’s Service League Trust Grant: Dean Armstrong, Anton Haskevych and Kevin White. For years, the Cathedral Service League was among the central women’s organizations serving the Cathedral community. This Grant, which was established to support young adults preparing for study or vocational training after high school, is its legacy.

Dean Armstrong is a 2024 graduate of Wantagh High School who joined the Cathedral at a young age. His time leading Sunday School classes informed his love of mentoring and his decision to pursue a degree in early education at SUNY New Paltz this fall.

Anton Haskevych is a 2024 graduate of Garden City High School, who moved from war torn Ukraine with his family two years ago. In 2022, when he was the equivalent of a high school sophomore, Anton began making phone calls from his hometown near the occupied city of Kherson to churches and organizations in the US in the hope of relocating here. Anton reached the office of the cathedral, where Director of Music, Larry Tremsky picked up the phone. Anton begins his undergraduate studies this fall at UC Irvine, in Southern California.

Kevin White is a graduating member of the Wellington C. Mepham School’s class of 2024. Having grown up at the Cathedral, Kevin has contributed to the life of this community in many ways. For years, he played the donkey in the Christmas pageant, and he has since moved on to serve as a lector on Sunday mornings. Kevin begins undergraduate studies this fall at SUNY, Oneonta.

As Dean, Anton and Kevin pursue further education, the Cathedral offers thanksgiving for the gifts they have offered our community, and blessings for the work ahead.

CSA Farm Share 2024 Season

The Hawthorne Valley Farm is happy to return to the Cathedral of the Incarnation this summer.

The Farm has a 350–member CSA and supplies organic and Biodynamic® produce to Columbia County residents and to the New York City communities of Garden City, Inwood, and Riverdale. Over 40 varieties of vegetables are grown on 16+ acres, and fruit shares from local farmers are also available. The CSA includes weekly delivery of produce for approximately 22 weeks.

The rewards of CSA membership are great: learning to eat seasonally, cooking and preserving new and interesting vegetables, celebrating the growing season at special events on the farm, and coming to feel a sense of connection to Hawthorne Valley and other farms in the region!

Join our CSA farm share by clicking here. We start in Garden City the first Thursday in June!

We Serve

School Supply Drive

We are preparing to begin our Annual School Supply and Back Pack Drive for our friends at P.E.A.C.E After School Program! This year, we have been asked to steer towards backpacks in blacks, grays and greens for the students. .

The younger students love the more decorative backpacks with designs and such.

Supply lists will be provided shortly. PEACE Camp Day is Friday, August 16th and we will begin distribution of backpacks with supplies on that date to the campers and counselors and then to our Neighbors Being Neighbors friends in Hempstead.

Anyone interested in volunteering for Camp Day please contact Deacon Denise @ dgalloway@incarnationgc.org or Chris Scott@ cbscott88@verizon.net

Neighbors Being Neighbors

Summer volunteers needed!

The Cathedral’s Outreach Ministries address the needs of neighbors on a weekly basis in various capacities. We serve meals twice per week and on special occasions. We offer healing prayers on the street for our friends. We partner with various organizations in Nassau County to offer support, collaboration and assistance. Many ministry opportunities exist throughout the year: one time, weekly, monthly and seasonally.

We are in need of extra hands to assist on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons to distribute meals at our Jackson Street "sweet spot". Additionally, we need assistance from someone who can pick up our supplies, including cases of water, from See House and deliver to the Bishop Walker Guest House. To support this ministry with food or monetary donations, please contact our Outreach Director, Denise Galloway at dgalloway@incarnationgc.org.
