Father Humey was pastor for only three years when he died in September of 1933. Father Hurney was succeeded by his close friend, the Rev.

Father Cartwright served for 13 years at Immaculate Conception and then was transferred to St. Matthew's Cathedral. Father Cartwright was known as a scholar and historian having published in various Catholic publications. He also taught church history and

He also taught at the Sulpician and Paulist Seminaries, and was an Assistant Professor at Catholic University, Washington.
For the 75th anniversary of Immaculate Conception, Father Cartwright had the church refurbished.
