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

Sacred Heart of Jesus
Renewal Prayer
O Most Holy Heart of Jesus, for whom it is impossible
not to have compassion for us,
please have mercy upon us as we place our trust in You.
To You we surrender the many needs of Your church;
asking for Your help, especially on those who are in pain.
Please heal the hearts of those who are broken
and help us to grow closer to You.
As our Immaculate Conception community anticipates the renewal
of the chapel in Your honor, help our hearts, minds, and voices
to be strengthened by Your goodness and love.
We come before You grateful for all that You have done for us.
Help us to be ever generous with what we have
received as we return our blessings to You.
Amen

Blessing & Dedication
of the IC Respect Life
Memorial |
On Saturday evening October 6th, we will begin to observe
Respect Life Sunday & the first Sunday of October,
Respect Life Month.
All are invited to attend.
The Memorial can be found on the York road side
of the IC Sacred Heart Chapel,
directly north of the gate that opens to the parking lot.
All are encouraged to stop by the Memorial
& read the inscriptions & say a prayer that all of life
will be respected from conception until natural death.
A special word of thanks to all the generous donors
who have provided for the IC Respect Life Memorial,
because of their generosity, we now have it
as permanent witness as part of our IC Parish.
The Christian Ministry Office is seeking individuals interested in
becoming bereavement ministers.
This is a flexible ministry with no rotating schedules.
The role of the bereavement minister is to assist the family in planning
the Rite of Christian Burial (funeral Mass), which includes
choosing the readings, songs and intercessions.
The bereavement minister attends the wake
and is present on the day of the funeral.
The only requirement is a compassionate heart.
Training is provided.
If you are interested and want to learn more,
please contact Pam Stefik at 630-530-3497 or pstefik@icelmhurst.org

Immaculate Conception hosts a PADS site on the third Saturday
of each month beginning
October - April. |
Hundreds of volunteers are needed to help pick up and deliver food
(from the Rectory to the PADS site),
purchase and/or prepare food, serve our guests,
be present for the overnight hours,
prepare breakfast and lunches and clean up.
Anyone who signed up during our annual Ministry weekend will be contacted.
If you didn’t sign up, but would like to help, there’s still room!
You do NOT need to help each and every month.
We can’t do this without you!
Please contact Mary O’Leary at maryoleary1@yahoo.com or
