Due to the Coronavirus outbreak the Bishop has, as of today (3/13/20), decided o suspend all forms of public worship in our Catholic Churches until further notice. Please see the letters on the News page. Beginning tomorrow, March 14th, there will no longer be public Mass, Adoration or any other form of public worship until further notice. The Bishop encourages all the faithful to watch Mass on television and spend intentional time at home and in prayer and reflection. Please consider praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet (and other prayers) for a quick end to the corona virus outbreak and for all those who are infected. You can find the Chaplet, several prayers and the Stations of the Cross under the "Our Faith" tab in the menu above. RCIA and CCD classes and all parish events and activities have been suspended until further notice. God Bless.
To help lower Immaculate Conception’s last $100,000 of debt I am asking as many individuals as possible to give a lump sum of $1000 (or more) to the building fund. This will lower our remaining debt quickly or even eliminate it. Please utilize the specially marked envelopes in the narthex. Thank you for your support!!!
