EVENTS and ANNOUNCEMENTS:

NEED YOUR HELP: 
Last weekend we had a colorful bulletin insert called The Kid's Bulletin. We had a tremendous response. Adults indicated that their children, grandchildren and even some great nephews loved it but we also had some adults express that they learned something new. 
In order for us to continue this on a weekly basis, we are in need of donations to cover the cost of printing them. The actual bulletin is free, but the printing is not. 
Would you be able to help defray the cost? If so, you can send a check to the parish office. Please clearly indicate that your donation is to be used for the Kid's Bulletin. You can also put your donation in the collection baskets at Mass. If you do this, again clearly indicate on an envelope that it is to be used for The Kid's Bulletin.
Thank you so much!!!  And thank you in advance for your donation.
Any questions, please contact either Sue Korson or Sherrie Clutts at the parish office.

Our summer schedule begins the first weekend in June and goes through first weekend in September! All parishioners as well as all our summer guests are invited to join with no formal weekly rehearsals! The music will continue to be upbeat and prayerful and familiar enough to jump right in! Please come as we continue to lift our voices in worship during the great summer months God has blessed us with here in TC!

Growing in Grace Area
We have a new section in the social hall that is dedicated for the use of families and children. Previously there was a bookcase in the vestibule that was dedicated to children's books. That has since been moved into a corner in the social hall. There are two rocking chairs for parents to use either during or after Mass. It is important to have a welcoming area where a parent can comfortably take a child during Mass. Because the day chapel is used during Mass, it is not always a feasible location to calm a child. This new area is also a nice quiet place for a new mother to nurse her baby.

SIGN UP NOW!  Grades 2-8 (some exceptions)
Starts in September 2019.
  Have fun learning to play piano and surprise your family and friends by playing Christmas songs by December!

Immaculate Conception Parish is initiating a NEW 12:15 pm Mass Every Thursday. This Mass is for people who cannot typically make morning mass. This is the ultimate power lunch for working men and women, it is designed to easily have folks back to work (or whatever) by 1:00 pm.  All Are Welcome!!

Something New For Your App If you have the myParish app on your cell phone, you may notice a temporary background change for the Lent and Easter seasons. It is a beautiful background of the Holy Cross and again it is just temporary. Another feature that will be found on your app is called Lenten Reflections. It will be found under the icon called Inspire Daily. Remember there are so many features on your app and they are easy to use. No matter what kind of smart phone you own, it is easy to download if you do not already have the app. If you have any questions, please contact either Sue Korson or Sherrie Clutts at the parish office.

Thank you to all our parishioners who have made their gift to the 2019 Catholic Services Appeal. We are moving steadily toward our goal. If you have not yet made a gift or pledge, it is not too late to help us meet and even exceed our target. Please pick up your CSA card in the vestibule this weekend and make your pledge with one of our CSA volunteers.

The St. Patrick's parish library is finally complete. It has been updated and revised in its format. There is some unbelievable materials located on the bookshelves. If you see something that sparks your interest, there is no need to check books out. Just simply take them home, enjoy, learn and return!! Becasue we have plenty of books for both adult and children, we are no longer accepting any donated books or DVD's. Parents, feel free to take some children books home for your little ones and return at your convenience.
