History of Immaculate Conception Church
Established 1853
The "Church on the Hill," the second Catholic Church in Tuckahoe, replacing the original church in Waverly Square, was established as a mission church of Blessed Sacrament Parish in New Rochelle, and serving the Irish immigrants in Eastchester and Tuckahoe. The first pastor was Rev. John A. Keogh. From its humble beginnings, Immaculate Conception Parish evolved to include a newly renovated church (2009), an accredited parish school, Holy Mount Cemetery - which is in the Town of Eastchester, and a 13-acre main campus. The newest addition to the parish is the Gym; it will serve parishioners and the youth in our community for many years to come.

History of Assumption of Our Lady Church
Established 1911
Many Italian immigrants made their way to the village of Tuckahoe, to work in its world famous marble quarry. In response to the immigrants, the National Italian Parish of the Assumption was created. Its first Mass was celebrated by Reverend Vincent Lojacono, the first pastor (1911). The parish men built Assumption Hall—later renamed Fr. Fata Hall (1924). Assumption School opened and was staffed by the Religious Teachers Filippini (1959). With pride, a Pipe Organ was installed in the church (1963). In response to September 11, 2001, the Assumption Church Prayer Garden was established (2005); it will serve the community as a place of prayer and healing for many years to come.
