2025-04-01 - From the NYC AGO New York City Organ Project, Steve Lawson: In 1967 Archbishop McEntegart established Cathedral College of the Immaculate Conception in Douglaston. This full four-year college seminary was to serve the Dioceses of Brooklyn and Rockville Centre as well as the Archdiocese of New York. At its peak in the early 1970’s the college housed more than 370 students and offered baccalaureate degrees in nearly a dozen majors. The decline in the number of those answering the call to the priesthood led to the closing of Brooklyn Cathedral in 1985 and Cathedral College in 1987, with the last degrees granted in 1988. In 1987, Bishop Francis J. Mugavero, the fifth Bishop of Brooklyn, established the Immaculate Conception Center at the site of the former Cathedral College. A portion of the property was sold to fund the renovation of the building and the Diocese of Brooklyn had its first pastoral center. In addition to the Bishops Mugavero/Mulrooney Residences for priests and Cathedral Seminary Residence of the Immaculate Conception, the Center serves as a retreat and conference center. It is home to the Diocesan Tribunal, Pastoral Institute, Institutional Services, Inc., the Queens office of The Tablet. It also houses the Offices of Pastoral Planning Family Life, Hispanic Ministry, Black Ministry, Respect Life and the Office of the Regional Bishop of Queens North as well as other agencies of the Diocese. -Jeff Scofield
