Immaculate Heart of Mary Church

Immaculate Heart of Mary is a parish I will always belong to no matter where I may live. Having received the Sacraments of Confession, first Holy Communion, and Confirmation here, IHM will always occupy a special place in my heart. A particularly notable blessing was having Mass celebrated by Monsignor William Smith, who visited from nearby St. John’s Seminary (Dunwoodie) each Sunday at noon. He was a particularly wise and holy man, certainly a saint in Heaven now, God bless him. Whenever I return to Scarsdale, I love to attend Mass here. I was blown away by the rendition of Handel’s Messiah that followed Mass this past Easter Sunday. Having grown up here, I count my self blessed, and I am happy to rate Immaculate Heart of Mary 5 stars for many reasons — the moving homilies, the ascetic beauty of the Mass, the talent of the cantors, for example. But most important are the spritual graces one can obtain through Daily adoration, and the celebration of the Sacraments. If you are a Catholic, treat yourself to prayer at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church. If you are not Catholic, feel free to stop by the rectory and find out about what has kept us coming to Christ for the last 2,000 years.
