Fr. Rutler to St. Michael’s on West 34th Street

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

Fr. George Rutler has been transferred to St Michael’s parish on West 34th street. He will also become the “administrator” of Holy Innocents ( well known to the Manhattan Traditional Mass community). In turn the pastor of St Stephen’s church – Fr. Robert Robbins, who had only held that position since last October – will take over the pastorate of Our Saviour’s church – while remaining “administrator” of St Stephen’s. Obviously there is a story here – is this the prelude to further parish consolidation in the Murray hill area? Affected by this reshuffling of pastors are four of the most beautiful parish churches in New york.

See the Archdiocesan announcements.

See Father Rutler’s column in Our Saviour’s bulletin.

Fr Rutler has done magnificent work in the Archdiocese – and as pastor of Our Saviour’s during the last twelve years. He provided much needed support for Our Society’s initial efforts – who can forget the first Solemn high mass in New York pursuant to Summorum Pontificum celebrated at Our Saviour’s in 2007? We wish Fr. Rutler well in his new parish (both of them). I have a feeling many people will be making the pilgrimage to Hell’s Kitchen in the coming years….
