To you, O Lord, I lift my soul.
My dear friends,
I hope everybody had a blessed Thanksgiving day and maybe a good time with family, friends or rest this holiday weekend.
This evening we begin Advent and a new Church liturgical year! While St. John’s Gospel is always brought in at various times in the year, most of our Sundays will focus on the Gospel of Saint Luke. As we seek to prepare our homes and families for Christmas, may we ensure we do not neglect the home of our souls. May renewed prayer, Mass, listening to the Word of God and a good examination of conscience to make a good confession, be part of our preparation during these next 3 1/2 weeks.
Congratulations to James and Marchello, IHM Confirmation candidates, on a successful raffle for hurricane victims! Their efforts raised well over $1000 and all the proceeds will be sent to the Red Cross.
Thanks to Dotty & Denis Meehan and our young adult parishioners, the Giving Tree is off to an amazing start. I hope everybody is taking advantage of all the sales. Thank you for your donations. That will help so many this Christmas.
For first Friday, this December 6, Eucharistic Exposition will continue beyond 8 PM and go until midnight. At 8 PM, 9 PM, 10 PM and 11 PM there will be about 20 minutes of a rosary or a chaplet to pray for our Church and our country. It is our hope to have Adoration go to midnight every First Friday.
On Friday, December 13, we will have our Handel’s Messiah sing-along with a professional orchestra and singers. Information is below and sponsorship is greatly appreciated to offer this New York City performance here at our parish.
This weekend, I hope to celebrate the Saturday Vigil Mass, the 9 AM and 10:30 AM Masses. Fr. Thumma is on for the 7:30am and 12noon Masses.
The Parish Council this Sunday is sponsoring coffee and donuts after all of the Masses. All are welcome!
Have a blessed beginning of Advent this Sunday.

Monday (12/9)
The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception will be transferred to the Monday since Sunday is Advent. For a long time we have operated under the rule that when a holy day of obligation is transferred, the obligation does not go with it. The Vatican has recently clarified it with our US Catholic Bishops by stating that the obligation does indeed transfer. We will look to add two Masses or so for all to fulfill their obligation.
Friday (12/13)
Messiah sing-along
Saturday (12/14)
8:30-10:30am Breakfast with Santa (Lower Church - details below)
Next Meeting: Monday, January 13, 2025
Next Coffee and Donuts: Sunday, December 1, 2024 (interested in assisting? Reach out to the volunteers to assist the PC. Members are most welcome by clicking here)
What is the Parish Council?
The Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish Council serves as a consultative body of the parish whose responsibility is to advise and assist the pastor in matters relating to the parish. This includes promoting lay participation in the activities of the parish, evaluating the goals and needs of the parish, developing and recommending ways to address those needs, and finally developing and maintaining a two-way communication between the Council and the larger Parish community. Council members will also be expected to take a leadership role in the various Parish Council events as well as in the particular area of Parish life they are interested in or involved in already.
If you have any questions, please email IHMPC@ihmscarsdale.org.

Sunday, December 1, 2024 | First Sunday of Advent | Luke 21:25–28, 34–36
Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus tells his disciples to be vigilant. Today marks the beginning of Advent, the great liturgical season of vigilance, of waiting and watching.
What practically can we do during this season of vigil keeping? What are some practices that might incarnate for us the Advent spirituality?
I strongly recommend the classically Catholic discipline of Eucharistic Adoration. To spend a half hour or an hour in the presence of the Lord is not to accomplish or achieve very much—it is not really “getting” anywhere—but it is a particularly rich form of spiritual waiting.
As you keep vigil before the Blessed Sacrament, bring to Christ some problem or dilemma that you have been fretting over, and then say, “Lord, I’m waiting for you to solve this, to show me the way out, the way forward. I’ve been running, planning, worrying, but now I’m going to let you work.” Then, throughout Advent, watch attentively for signs.
Also, when you pray before the Eucharist, allow your desire for the things of God to intensify; allow your heart and soul to expand. Pray, “Lord, make me ready to receive the gifts you want to give,” or even, “Lord Jesus, surprise me.”

This year the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception will be transferred to the Monday since Sunday is Advent and it will be a Holy Day of Obligation Monday, December 9th.

12:30PM, 5:30PM & 7:30PM
The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception
by Fr. Matthew Ernest,
Director of the Office of Liturgy for the Archdiocese of New York
The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception has long held a significant place in the annual cycle of the Church’s liturgical year. As early as AD 700, a feast dedicated to the “Conception of Mary by Saint Ann” was celebrated in the East on December 9. This commemoration was thought to have been initially inspired by the non-canonical Protoevangelium of James, which described the events surrounding Saint Ann’s conception of Holy Mary, despite the former having been thought barren due to her advanced years. December 9 was chosen as the day for this commemoration as it fell nine months prior to September 8, the day on which the birth of Mary was celebrated by the Eastern Church.
In Rome, a similar feast began to be celebrated in the 15th century, albeit with special focus on the Blessed Mother’s Immaculate Conception. This dogma was initially the subject of debate amongst scholastic authors, some of whom questioned how Mary could be conceived without sin prior to the events by which her Son redeemed humanity. Blessed John Duns Scotus (d. 1308) is credited with developing the Church’s theological understanding of the Immaculate Conception of Mary as “preservative redemption.” This belief was later dogmatically defined in 1854, when Pope Pius IX formally declared that Mary “was by a singular grace and privilege of Almighty God, and in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race,
preserved free from all stain of original sin” (Ineffabilis Deus). The title of Holy Mary as “the Immaculate Conception” was again affirmed a few years later within the Marian apparitions in 1858 to Saint Bernadette at Lourdes, France, where Our Lady declared herself to be the Immaculate Conception. …
Our Lady under the title of the Immaculate Conception has also been the patroness of the United States since 1846, when the US bishops placed the entire country, and not only the Church in the United States, under her care at the Sixth Provincial Council of Baltimore.
For many years, the understanding in the United States was that, when the date of
the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception was transferred in a particular year, the obligation to attend Mass on this day did not also transfer. However, more recently, Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki, Chairman of the USCCB’s Committee on Canonical Affairs and Church Governance, wrote to the Holy See seeking clarification on the
obligation to attend Mass when a holy day of obligation in Advent, Lent, or
Easter falls on Sunday and the Solemnity is transferred to Monday. In a letter to the US bishops dated October 10, 2024, Bishop Paprocki communicated the Dicastery for Legislative Text’s response: “the feast must be observed as a day of obligation on the day to which it is transferred.” In light of this new directive, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception on Monday, December 9, 2024 is to be observed as a holy day of obligation this year and in all future years when the celebration is transferred to Monday.…one may satisfy this precept for the Sunday of Advent at any Mass from 4pm on Saturday, December 7 through midnight of Sunday, December 8. The obligation to attend Mass on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception can be fulfilled at any Mass from 4pm on Sunday, December 8 (irrespective of the Mass texts used) through midnight on Monday, December 9. In the latter case, attending Mass on Monday, December 9 would be more ideal, bearing in mind the given opportunity to hear the readings and prayers associated with this beautiful Solemnity dedicated to Our Lady.

Season of Joy: The four weeks before Christmas are the season of Advent, a time to prepare as we joyfully anticipate the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Whether you are looking for ways to get the most out of this Advent season or have been away from the Church for a while: WELCOME!
