My dear parishioners of Immaculate Heart of Mary,

Our Archbishop of New York, His Eminence Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, surprised us this week by notifying the parish that he wanted to stop by, celebrate this Saturday’s Vigil Mass at 5:30 PM and officially conduct the liturgical ceremony installing me, your new Pastor!

Know this Mass, like all the others, is viewable in our archived section of online Masses.

I tried as best as possible to balance the usual number of parishioners in attendance with as best a representation of various parish organizations, committees and groups as was possible.

As you can imagine, given the restrictions on numbers, we were not able to publicize it so as to avoid an unsafe crowding.

Know I consider myself very blessed to be at home with you as your Pastor.

Have a blessed Sunday!

In Jesus our King,

Msgr. Luke Sweeney
