Parish history
The parish of Saint Vito's was founded in 1911 and built by immigrants from southern Italy using plans supplied by architect Anthony J. DePace. It was named after the Sicilian Saint Vito (St. Vitus). To this day the parish still maintains a large percentage of Italian-American parishioners. There are monthly devotions to Padre Pio every 4th Thursday at 7:30 p.m. The parish also holds an annual Festa Italiana in honor of its patron saint.
St. Vito's Parish School operated from 1960 to 1986 and was staffed by the Dominican Sisters of Sparkill. The church was heavily damaged in the flood that ravaged the Village of Mamaroneck in April 2007. The church has since been restored.
On November 2, 2014 the Archdiocese of New York announced as part of its "Making All Things New" round of church closures that the Parish of Saint Vito would be merged with the Parish Most Holy Trinity also located in Mamaroneck, New York. As of August 2015, the church is part of the newly formed parish of Most Holy Trinity-Saint Vito. The parish is served by the Knights of Columbus, Council 2247.
Msgr. James E. White is the current Pastor of Most Holy Trinity-Saint Vito Parish.
