Day of the Dead
On Saturday November 2nd, we begin All Saints weekend at Incarnation Chapel with a special All Saints/All Souls family event celebrating the Mexican and Latin American festival of the Day of the Dead, Dia de los Muertos. This day highlights our connection with all those who have gone before us. At 4pm Mother Kate Salisbury will lead a project for all ages designed to honor some of our favorite, and most colorful, ancestors. At 5pm the Eucharist will include time to remember each person we have loved and lost. Everyone is encouraged to bring a photo or memento to place on the altar of remembrance, called an ofrenda. A festive meal follows including some traditional Day of the Dead delicacies.
We Connect
Verger's Fall Workshop
Join the Verger Guild of the Diocese of Long Island on Saturday, November 9th from 11am to 3pm as it presents its fall workshop day at the cathedral focused on the history, use, and care of the church’s sacred vestments.
Steven Leavitt of Transfiguration Vestments will then lead us through a brief history of each of the principal vestments used in sacred worship, while Marianna Garthwaite Klaiman will take a closer look at vestment symbolism centered around rebirth and resurrection. Coffee and bagels will be served.
The cathedral's Resurrection Peacock, an exquisite piece of early-20th century metallic embroidery, will be revealed after its summer 2024 restoration by Marianna and remounting on new silk damask by Steven.
To register, please email the Dean’s Verger, Kyle Sabo, at ksabo@incarnationgc.org no later than November 2. All are welcome!

Fellowship in Faith
At the Mercer School
Sunday, 10:15-11am
Thank you to everyone who helped make the Cathedral's annual, All Hallows Eve Tales from the Crypt a great success! Dozens of volunteers in both cast and crew put on a spectacular show for the cathedra's neighbors and friends to begin the threefold celebrations of All Hallows Eve, All Souls Day and the Feast of All Saints.
This Sunday in Fellowship in Faith, children turn their focus to our ancestors in faith, paying special attention to Joseph and his brothers.

Dean's Forum
At the Mercer School Library
Sunday, 10:15-11am
Fr. Mark Kowalewski and Fr. Dan Ade, Vicars of Incarnation Chapel, lead the Deans' Forum this Sunday in a discussion of the history and significance of the Day of the Dead, or Dios Des Los Muertos. This is in preparation for a special intergenerational service at the chapel to be held Saturday, November 2nd.
Lunch and Learn: The Bible and Creation
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it,” says the Psalmist (24:1). Likewise, St Paul reminds us, “God made the world and everything in it” (Acts 17:24). Yet the words of the Bible seem to have fallen on deaf ears, especially in modern times, given the carelessness with which we treat Creation. Humanity has been entrusted with a unique role in God’s Creation.
This Lunch & Learn looks to the Bible and Creation in four steps to elucidate God’s will for the world and for us now and at the end of time. Join The Mercer School of Theology online with The Rev. Canon Dr. Michael Hull, Principal and Pantonian Professor of Divinity at the Scottish Episcopal Institute (Edinburgh), four Thursdays from 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm via Zoom.

Neighbors Being Neighbors
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. For the month of October, we will be collecting rice, beans, pasta, sauce and canned fish & canned meats.
We are in need of extra hands to assist on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons to distribute meals at our Jackson Street "sweet spot". To support this ministry with food or monetary donations, please contact our Outreach Director, Denise Galloway at dgalloway@incarnationgc.org.
