Parish News
A YEAR OF PRAYEREUCHARISTIC ADORATION AND PRAYER
The parish theme for the new liturgical year is “Prayer". On the first Tuesday of each month, the Church will be open for prayer and adoration from 10:00am – 7:00pm. (Adoration is not exposition or benediction; it is simply adoratory prayer before the Blessed Sacrament contained in the tabernacle, and it is powerful.) Come pray for the parish and for all parishioners; pray for peace; pray for an increase in priestly and religious vocations. We are asking a commitment of one hour per month.
FIRST SATURDAY DEVOTIONS AT I.C.
Join us each first Saturday at 8:15am for Mass, Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, Rosary, seasonal litany, and Benediction each First Saturday of every month beginning at 8:15 a.m. in Church. Mass, Exposition, Rosary, Seasonal Litany, and Benediction are currently celebrated Mondays through Fridays beginning at 8:15 a.m. in the Chapel, any time there is not a school mass.
VOCATION VIEWS
Jesus, the true vine, promised that if we live in him we will produce abundantly. Look for the signs of new life in you. Find ways to nourish your relationship with Jesus. (John 15:1-8)
NEW MASS SCHEDULE
Both IC and St. Helen’s will offer three weekend worship opportunities. Beginning Sunday, June 4, 2006 IC will implement the following change. Our adjusted mass schedule will be as follows:
Saturday 5:00pm
Sunday 11:00am and 6:00pm
Holy Day 8:15am and 7:00pm
St. Helen’s mass schedule is as follows:
Saturday 5:00pm
Sunday 8:00am and 10:30am
Your tithe envelopes may be used at either parish, and will be returned to IC, your home parish. Thank you for your continued support as we move to a new future in Region 6 with St. Helen’s Parish.
RCIA/ADULT EDUCATION
Join us for the newly redesigned RCIA/Adult Education program starting June 4 in the Madonna Library. Fr. Tony will lead RCIA and discussion of Faith, Scripture, and Church from 9:00am – 9:40am. Jason Wheately, IC parishioner and Licensed Independent Social Worker will lead classes from 9:45am –10:40am. Bring a notebook and your enthusiasm for topics ranging from the Catholic faith to basic communication skills to health and wellness.
CHILD PROTECTION CLASS
If you are a volunteer with children three or more hours per month, you must attend the Child Protection Class and be fingerprinted within the last year. The next class will be held on Tuesday, May 23 at 7:00pm at the St. Luke Parish Center. Please call St. Luke’s at 426-1733, or Charlotte Flohre at 252-9919 to register for this class.

Mark your calendars! The next Rosary Altar meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 16 at 12:00pm in MSH. Please bring a covered dish to share; we’ll play “Hand and Foot” after lunch.

If you have donated food through the Marthas, please make sure you have all the dishes you dropped off for us to use---we’re getting quite a collection in the side room next to the kitchen, and we need to clear the space. Thanks for helping with this important ministry.
FREE SPIRITS
Join us for Mass at 9:00am on Sunday, May 28; this Mass will honor deceased members of the Free Spirits. Coffee and doughnuts will follow in MSH.
Rita Tangeman is taking reservations for the trip to Bear Creek Farms on June 12 for the Van Dells Show. The cost is $54, which includes transportation, show, and dinner. For more information call Rita at 433-6628.
BISHOP MOEDDEL
Many people have been concerned about Bishop Moeddel’s health. Please know that the slight seizure he suffered a few weeks ago has been dealt with. Bishop Moeddel has returned to health and the full exercise of his responsibilities.
UPDATE ON GUY VANASSE
Guy Vanasse, former IC Music Director, sends his best wishes to the parish, and his thanks for all your prayers. His mother passed away on Saturday, Apr. 23, at home, with her family around her. If you would like his address, please contact the Rectory at 252-9919.
OUTREACH
Even though the 9:00am mass will no longer be on the schedule, we will continue to provide blood pressure screenings after all of the other masses. We hope you will continue to use this service; it’s an important tool in keeping an eye on your overall health—absolutely free.

CONTINUED RESTORATION FUND UPDATE Great News! Private donors have offered us a challenging opportunity: for every dollar donated by the parish, they will match it dollar for dollar, up to $25,000. This will make a big difference in funding our next project, which is replacing the church sound system. Total to Date $ 8,438.00 April $ 6,625.00 Total $ 18,053.50 EDUCATION FUND UPDATE The Education Fund currently has a matching grant program. For every two dollars donated to the Education Fund a generous donor will match it with one dollar. Thank you for your support and generosity to the Education Fund. The monies currently being collected will allow IC to continue to have tuition aid available for our qualifying families in the future. Total to Date $ 13,017.00 April $ 1,293.00 Total: $ 1,5772.50 The Restoration and Education Funds are “restricted”: they do not reflect nor impact the regular operating budget which depends on your weekly tithe contributions to the Church. | |
