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
It was God who chose us to go forth and bear fruit that will last. Let your heart rejoice in God’s call to you. What is the fruit of your life? (John 15:9-17)

OUTREACH
Child neglect and abuse are problems of monumental proportions. Several years ago the Outreach Committee began distributing the Children’s Prayer Card, which features a prayer written by former IC Pastor Fr. Tim Kallaher and a picture of Jesus with a child on His lap. We asked that the prayer be said daily for those children who are forgotten by everyone except God. So far, we have give out over 50,000 of these cards all over the world. We again have a supply of them on the Health Ministry table in the main vestibule, and we ask that you take one, and add your prayers to all the others being said.

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.

A Common Statement of Unity for Catholic Education
Because of our commitment to work together for the future of Catholic education, we agree not to accept enrollment of students from each other’s schools until a further process of regional planning has taken place, to ensure the best plan of education possible.
Our parishes have begun collaborative discussions with one another on a number of levels to promote a strong and secure future for our children’s education.
