Immaculate Heart of Mary Church

What Immaculate Heart of Mary Church does

Immaculate Heart of Mary Church (legal name: Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish) is a Catholic parish established on December 20, 1912 by Cardinal Farley, operating under the Archdiocese of New York from a single site at 8 Carman Road, Scarsdale, New York. The parish serves more than 1,800 registered Catholic families in Scarsdale and the surrounding Westchester County area, delivering weekend and weekday Masses, the seven sacraments, faith formation, and community outreach ministries including a food pantry, the HOPE Soup Kitchen, the Midnight Run homeless ministry, Operation Cornerstone for troops, the Giving Tree, and a Pro-Life Society. The parish runs Immaculate Heart of Mary School, a K-8 Catholic elementary school founded in 1928 with 300 students, and a Religious Education program enrolling more than 600 students in grades 1-8 plus a High School of Religion track.

Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary donations and program-related income. Streams include weekly tithes and offerings (collected in person and via the WeShare online platform), special collections at Easter and Christmas, Mass intention offerings ($20 per announced intention), sacramental certificates ($20 suggested offering), memorial offerings for the Sanctuary Lamp ($25), altar candles ($40), altar flowers ($100), and bread and wine ($50), plus donations to the IHM Restoration and Repair fund, the Faith and Future Fund (tuition assistance, $500-$10,000+), School Development, and legacy/planned giving. The parish employs approximately 24 staff and is supported by volunteers across ministries; leadership comprises Pastor Rev. Stephen Michael Ries (since August 2025) and Parochial Vicar Rev. Rayappa Reddy Thumma, with governance by a Parish Council and Finance Council.

Technology is administrative rather than proprietary: the parish uses the eCatholic platform for its website (ihm-parish.org), WeShare for online giving, Formed for Catholic media content from over 100 providers, BoxCast for live streaming Masses (weekday 9:00 AM, Saturday 5:30 PM, Sunday 10:30 AM) with recordings on Vimeo, Flocknote for email/text communication, and Library Thing/Tiny Cat for the parish library. In December 2025 the parish filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy; all ministries, liturgies, school activities, and daily operations continue without interruption per pastor updates.

Direct peers

• St. Pius X Parish: Catholic parish in Edgemont, NY, in Westchester County — directly comparable to IHM as a neighboring parish serving an affluent suburban catchment. Notably, it was originally carved out of IHM in 1954, making its operational and demographic profile highly aligned.
• St. Thomas of Canterbury Church: Catholic parish in White Plains, NY, providing a directly comparable Westchester suburban peer with similar Mass schedules, religious education programs, and outreach ministries serving an affluent commuter catchment.
• Annunciation Parish: Catholic parish in the Archdiocese of New York that already partners with IHM on sensory-friendly Masses. Comparable as a Westchester-area Catholic parish with similar sacramental, education, and outreach programming.
• Resurrection Parish: Catholic parish in Rye, NY, in the same Westchester market as IHM. Comparable as a parish combining a parish school, religious education program, social outreach ministries, and traditional Mass schedule.
• Our Lady of Fatima Parish: Catholic parish in Scarsdale, NY, directly comparable to IHM as a co-located parish in the same Scarsdale/Westchester market. It was originally spun off from IHM in 1948 and serves a substantially overlapping demographic.
• St. Joseph's Church (Bronxville): Catholic parish in Bronxville, NY — directly comparable to IHM as a Westchester suburban parish serving a similarly affluent catchment with K-8 Catholic school and traditional parish programming.
• St. Augustine Church (Larchmont): Catholic parish in Larchmont, NY — comparable Westchester suburban peer to IHM with parish school, religious education, social outreach, and Mass schedule structured similarly for an affluent commuter-community catchment.

Broad incumbents

• Cathedral of St. Patrick: The mother church of the Archdiocese of New York and a landmark Catholic parish. Comparable as a Catholic congregation within the same Archdiocese with extensive ministries, education, and outreach, but operating at substantially greater scale and visibility than IHM.
• St. Francis of Assisi Church: Historic large-scale Catholic parish in New York City. Comparable in offering the full sacramental life, school, religious education, and social outreach, though with a much larger urban footprint and broader programmatic scale than IHM.
• Holy Name of Jesus: Large Catholic parish in New York City within the Archdiocese of New York. Comparable in offering comprehensive sacramental, educational, and outreach programming at scale, providing a benchmark for an established urban parish operating model that IHM's suburban model could evolve toward.
