HOSPITAL CALLS AND VISITATION:
Please notify the Rectory if a family member is in the hospital or at home with a severe or prolonged illness. In accord with current privacy policies, hospitals do not inform us of parishioners entering the hospital; they call only at the patient’s request.

Parish News
40TH ANNIVERSARY MASSWe celebrated our 40th Anniversary of the church dedication last Sunday. Bishop John Kaising’s homily recapped Immaculate Conception’s past and had a sincere appreciation for our future generations. To those who attended, and those who volunteered to get this celebration ready in time, THANK YOU for your gifts of time, talent, and treasure.
ST. VINCENT HOTEL
On the third weekend of each month, we ask our parishioners to help support the St. Vincent Hotel for the homeless in Dayton by providing a meal to be given on the fourth Wednesday of each month. We need a minimum of 22 casseroles, 14 cans of vegetables, and 12 batches of cookies to send to the Hotel. In August and September, we received 36 casseroles, 12 cans of vegetables, 18 batches of cookies, and $114 in cash. We appreciate all contributions, but we do need more people to help us feed the less fortunate at St. Vincent Hotel. Our donations are down, and there are more needs to be met. If you have any questions, please call Carm Duckro at 252-8448.

BETHLEHEM ARTWORKS
Today, more than 600 Christian families living in Bethlehem rely on the hand-carved olive wood figures for their income. The recent clashes in the Middle East have caused serious harm to these families, forcing them to flee their homeland. In an effort to find alternative sources of income and help local handicraft artists, the Bethlehem Nativity Olive Wood is here this weekend to sell their beautiful olive wood figures. All income goes directly to the families who produce the items. Check out their wares in the main vestibule after all masses.
