    Year of the Eucharist

    Our three parishes began a “Year of the Eucharist” with the feast of Corpus Christi on Sunday June 3, 2018.

    We are being invited by God to enter more deeply into the mystery of Jesus, truly present among us in the Most Blessed Sacrament. To help facilitate a deeper devotion to Jesus in the Eucharist, there will be a “cool quote” included in the bulletin each week from the saints, about our belief in the Eucharistic presence of Jesus.

    In addition to the cool quote, Fr. David is leading a special Holy Hour of Adoration each Sunday afternoon at 3:00pm at St. Patrick’s in Havana. During this time Fr. David and the Holy Spirit will teach you how to pray more deeply and you will experience a deeper peace in your soul as well as a deeper union with God. Please arrange your schedule to come as often as you can and witness the transformation of your own heart in Christ Jesus.

  • Support Bread of Life Bakers

    The Bread of Life Bakers is based out of Immaculate Conception in Manito and run entirely by volunteers lead by a group of ladies that formerly owned a bakery in Manito.  They specialize in Povitica bread which is sold each Holiday Season. Pizza, cheesecakes and other baked goods are also available to the communty at various times throughout the year.  All the proceeds go towards paying for the new church and hall built in 2015.

  • Who is 3 for the Trinity?

    We are a community of three Parishes serving East Fulton and all of Mason Counties under the Pastoral Care of Father David Whiteside. While the trip from St. Mary's to Immaculate Conception is 30 miles we act as one Catholic Community praying for, working with, serving and supporting each other. Like God is Three in One, we like to think our three parishes make one wonderful community. 

    We have a wonderful church family who is very active both within our parishes and the surrounding community. Rural West Central Illinois is a needy area and we look to do our best to help our fellow man. We have a variety of events and service opportunities throughout the year.
