  An absolutely beautiful Cathedral. Visiting from out of town and the priest is incredibly friendly. When asked to do a confession after mass he gladly obliged. There are also a lot of Saint relics, amazing!

  I have lived in many cities but we have a national treasure in the heart of Music City in Nashville. The Cathedral of the Incarnation is truly one of Nashville’s most beautiful and welcoming places. From the moment you walk through the doors, you feel a sense of peace, warmth, and community. The architecture and stained glass are absolutely breathtaking, and every Mass is inspiring and reverent. The priests, especially Fr. Hammond, and staff genuinely care about people and make everyone feel welcome, whether you are a lifelong parishioner or visiting for the first time. The Organist and worship experience are incredible, and the cathedral does such a wonderful job bringing people together through faith, service, and community events. If you are looking for a church home in Nashville or simply want to experience a beautiful and uplifting place, I highly recommend the Cathedral of the Incarnation. All visitors are welcome.

  A very beautiful Cathedral vising from NC in Devine Mercy Sunday and everything was perfect . We loved that they still use the mass books that have the dates and music in them. 💕💕 . Love the traditional Mass !! 😍

  We have been attending here for several months. A great blend of traditional within a Novus Ordo liturgy. The cathedral is beautiful and everyone is very reverent, quiet, and respectful. A great parish. We went through OCIA in 2026 and Kevin Raymond is A GODSEND to those entering the Church. I can’t imagine a better director to guide the Catechumens through the process.

  Beautiful church. The music is always beautiful and the homilies I’ve heard are poignant. Acoustics are not great in the back of the church - recommend sitting in middle or closer.

  I went in to take some pictures and check out this Catholic Cathedral on Easter Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised as the outside is not to impressive but the inside was magnificent. As a bonus the organist was practicing for the Easter Vigil Mass. The acoustics were awesome. I’m thinking about asking to join the choir! If you want to see beautiful stained glass and old wood work and perhaps simply sit and meditate and pray stop in here.

  Wonderful world marriage day celebration! I've visited the church several times, but this one was very special. Besides being our 10th wedding anniversary, to witness the foundation of our faith, families, and all those couples together for so long was really a treat. Loved the wedding cake, the band, and the space after the mass, and especially the certificate we received in the mail afterward. Thank you! 🙏

  Visited from out of town. Stunning Cathedral, the priest was very welcoming and gave an impactful homily. Music was exceptional. Would highly recommend for visitors or anyone. Will be attending mass here anytime I am in Nashville.

  First time visiting a cathedral in the United States. The outside is modeled on a basilica in Rome. I didn’t make it in time for mass, but I got to visit the inside afterwards, and I was enraptured by the serenity and beauty of the place. It would fit in perfectly with the churches of Italy. Perfect for prayer and reflection. Attend mass when you get a chance here.
