Dear Parishioners and Friends of Immaculate Heart of Mary,
Friday is a special day for our parish family. As we celebrate our Annual Day of Giving, we come together in gratitude for the tremendous gift that Immaculate Heart of Mary School has been to our community for generations. This day is dedicated to supporting and strengthening IHM’s mission of excellence in scholarship, enrichment, service, and Catholic identity, a mission that continues to shape the lives of our students each and every day.
To our alumni: your years at IHM helped form the foundation of who you are.
To our parents of former students: you partnered with us in the sacred work of educating your children.
To our longtime supporters: your generosity has sustained our school through many seasons of growth and change.
Each of you is part of the living history of IHM School, and your support today ensures that this legacy continues.
As we mark this Annual Day of Giving, I invite you to join us in lifting up our school through your prayers, your encouragement, and if you are able, your financial support. Every gift made today directly strengthens our academic programs, expands enrichment opportunities, supports tuition assistance, and helps us remain a vibrant center of Catholic education here in Scarsdale.
This year, we are also pleased to introduce the new Faith and Future Fund, created to provide ongoing direct tuition support for our students and to ensure that every family who desires a Catholic education for their children has the opportunity to receive one. Faith and Future giving envelopes will be available in the church and rectory, making it easy for anyone who has been touched by the mission of IHM to participate.
This fund offers a meaningful way for our graduates, parents of former students, and longtime friends of IHM to give back in a way that directly shapes the future of our school. Your generosity becomes part of a legacy that will continue forming young hearts and minds for years to come. Whether it is a modest contribution or a more substantial gift, every donation strengthens our ability to support families, expand access, and keep Catholic education vibrant and thriving in our community.
I encourage you to share this day with others who love IHM. Tell your stories, spread the word, and help us reach all those whose lives have been touched by our school.
Thank you for your faith, your generosity, and your enduring love for our parish school. May God bless you abundantly for all you do to support the mission of Immaculate Heart of Mary.
With gratitude and prayer,
Father Stephen Ries
Pastor
