Church of the Incarnation, Roman Catholic (Manhattan)

The Church of the Incarnation is a Catholic parish church in the Archdiocese of New York, located at 1290 St. Nicholas Avenue at the corner with 175th Street in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. The church is known as "the St. Patrick's Cathedral of Washington Heights".

History
The parish "was founded in 1908 by the Rev. P. J. Mahoney, D.D.", the parish's first pastor, formed in response to "…the rapid growth of the city along the Hudson River above 145th Street…". The current pastor is Edward Russell. ==Building==
Building
The present Gothic Revival stone buttressed-church with apse was built in 1928 to the designs of W. H. Jones with two small towers. Internally, the contemporary-with-the-building baldacchino is of white marble and lit by rich stained-glass windows. "At the West End is a large and stunning rose window above the gallery. Twin organ facades with gold pipes face into the gallery from both sides, and additional organ facades are found in the North transept and in the apse". ==Incarnation School==

In 1914, the school which had been built with the church and completed in 1910 was in the charge of two Sisters of Charity of New York and two lay teachers, who oversaw 125 pupils. Among the school's notable graduates have been baseball broadcaster Vin Scully and Theodore E. McCarrick. == References ==
