The Church of the Magdalene is a small country church, located in the beautiful hamlet of Pocantico Hills
in Westchester County. Roads leading to the hamlet pass by rolling fields protected by stone walls.
A handful of homes, large and small, a school, two churches, and a fire house are located in the center
of the village. Parishioners come from more than fifteen surrounding towns and villages. In 2019, our
parish celebrated its 125th anniversary of its founding.

Looking to a Bright Future with Father Tim

The rectory of the Church of the Magdalene in Pocantico Hills, one village neighbor recently commented, used to be dark, but now all the lights are blazing. And the new pastor, the Rev. Timothy Wiggins, isn’t at all surprised. 

Father Tim, as he’s happy to be called, is a busy man, fully occupied with the pastoral role he took on in July 2022, growing his parish, which celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2019. “It’s a hidden gem,” he commented, “a really good parish with a strong multi-generational base and increasing numbers.”
