WELCOME

      On behalf of the Family of Faith of our parish, it is my pleasure to welcome you. Since 1876 IC has been a community of believers that has worked to build the Kingdom of God. Our parish has a rich history that we continue to build upon. Our Liturgical celebrations, educational opportunities and outreach efforts are amongst our many efforts of active parish life.
      If you are already familiar with IC, I hope the information on this site helps to keep you updated of our activities. If you are new to the area and are looking for a community to join, I hope our information encourages you to consider either visiting or joining our parish. You are most welcome to do so, and to also contact our office with any questions.
      Welcome to Immaculate Conception! I hope to see you soon.

Very Rev. Thomas Paul, Pastor

may be dropped off on the tables in the narthex of both the Chapel and
church. Your gift of a clean, gently used winter coat or cold-weather
accessory will not only keep someone else warm this winter, but will
warm your heart as well! Items will be collected in the narthex of the
church and chapel. Thank you and God bless you for your generosity.

We are preparing for our holiday outreach.

“Blessed are the open hands that embrace the poor and help them: they are hands that bring hope,”
“Blessed are the hands that reach beyond every barrier of culture, religion and nationality, and pour the balm of consolation over the
wounds of humanity.”
“Blessed are the open hands that ask nothing in exchange, with no ‘ifs’ or ‘buts’ or ‘maybes:’ they are hands that call down God’s blessing upon their brothers and sisters.”
