CHURCH WOMEN UNITED
Women who wish to be ecumenical are invited to learn more about Church Women United of Greater Dayton. Pope John Paul II stated, “Increase in fellowship is one of the distinctive and most important aspects of ecumenism. Love builds communication between individuals and communities. If we love one another, we strive to deepen our communion and make it perfect.” For more information call Kathy Zamonski at 298-4255; leave your name, address, and phone number for a free one-year subscription to CWU’s newsletter.
PARISH REGISTRATION/CHANGE OF ADDRESS
Visitors and Friends: Welcome to Immaculate Conception Church! The only sure way to become a registered member of the parish family is to fill out a registration form (below) or a pew card; drop either in the collection basket, or return it to the rectory office. There is no automatic registration if you attend mass regularly, or even if your children attend Immaculate Conception School or Immaculate Conception Religious Education Classes.
