On the occasion of the Centennial of Immaculate Conception Church, Msgr. James J. Walsh commissioned a Centennial Journal. The Journal details the history of the original Immaculate Conception Church, until the dedication of the new Church by Terrence Cardinal Cooke, on Sunday November 3, 1974. We are happy to share it with you here in installments. As Msgr. Walsh said in the journal's forward, may it help you get "a glimpse of how a people imbued with faith created for themselves a proud past."
