A Letter From Our Pastor

I could not be more proud. Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic School is a vibrant parochial school community where your children are nurtured and encouraged to reach their full potential. Since 1958, our tradition of well-rounded academics grounded in our Catholic faith has created an educational and spiritual legacy for generations of families. I am sure you will be pleased with what you discover.

In Christ,

Reverend James A. Schillinger, S.T.L.
Pastor

*Father Schillinger has been the pastor at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church since 2002. He was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Atlanta on June 30, 1984. He serves as Director for Ongoing Formation of Priests in the Archdiocese.

Our Parish

Bishop Francis Hyland, the first Bishop of the Diocese of Atlanta, founded Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish in 1958. Reverend Monsignor Cornelius Maloney was named the first pastor and he quickly set out to build the original church, the rectory and the school.

Over the years our parish naturally grew as Atlanta grew and the original buildings needed to be enlarged and modernized. In more recent days the parish embarked on an aggressive building campaign to provide adequate facilities for a rapidly growing parish community. While the project is not yet fully realized, a major accomplishment was the construction of our new church which was dedicated by Archbishop Gregory on January 24, 2009.

For more than fifty years, IHM has been a diverse and loving Catholic community unified by its mission to continue the work of Jesus Christ through worship, education and service.
