The Church of the Immaculate Conception is a Roman Catholic parish church under the authority of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located in 623 Hunns Lake Road, Bangall, Dutchess County, New York State. It holds masses Saturdays at 5pm, Sundays at 10 and 11:30am, and confessions on Saturdays from 3:30 to 4:30pm.
On December 19, 2013, Father William White, administrator of Immaculate Conception parish, received word from the archdiocese that the church building was to be closed immediately due to the building’s deteriorating condition as detailed illustrated in several engineering studies. This was done in anticipation of severe winter weather which threatened the structure’s roof. Parishioners moved the liturgical and other contents of the church to St. Mary’s parish hall, located about one-third of a mile from Immaculate Conception Church on Hunns Lake Road. The move was accomplished in time for the 5:00 p.m. Mass on Saturday, December 21 to be held at the hall, where Auxiliary Bishop Dominick J. Lagonegro celebrated the 10:30 a.m. Mass on Christmas.
Merger
In May 2015, the Archdiocese announced that Immaculate Conception parish would merge with St. Joseph's in Millbrook, with St. Joseph's as the parish church. Although remaining a church which may be used on special occasions, Masses and the sacraments will no longer be celebrated on a regular weekly basis at St. Mary's parish hall as of August 2015.
