THANK YOU FROM HOLY NAME OF MARY'S RESPECT FOR LIFE SOCIETY

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton-on-Hudson: our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Thank you from Respect for Life Society---Thank you to the parishioners of HNM for the generous monetary donations in the October Respect For Life collection. We had an anonymous donor that matched the first $1,000 dollars donated, so thank you to that very generous person! About $2,000 was raised for Birthright in Peekskill, which helps expectant mothers and new moms get baby supplies and clothes for their babies.

We also raised about $2,000 for St. Christopher’s Inn at Graymoor in Garrison in memory of Matthew Sorenson of Croton.

Both organizations were so grateful. Birthright helps support over a hundred babies a year and St. Christopher’s Inn helps hundreds of men a year recover from drug and alcohol addiction. The work both these places do is outstanding and makes a difference in the lives of many individuals, as well as on a local level.

God Bless, The Respect For Life Society,

Jessica Dieckman, Brigid & Tom Faranda

SERVICE INFO AND OBITUARY FOR MICHAEL SAMUEL DePALMA

Michael Samuel DePalma Obituary

When someone dies, they don’t lose their strength; they give it to someone who earns it.

Our beloved, Michael Samuel DePalma, went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, March 11, 2026. He spent his last days at home with his true love and partner in life, his wife, Caryl. To say that Michael’s life was one of a kind would be an understatement. Though we would have loved to have had him longer, he lived his 76 years bigger and grander than these sentences can capture.

He made memories on the dancefloor, the golf course, on the beach in LBI, behind the wheel of his Shelby Mustang, on the race track, at the gun range, and behind the camera as a wedding photographer, capturing memories for others in photos. MORE AT Michael Samuel DePalma Obituary | Joseph F. Nardone Funeral Home | 1949 - 2026
