CHILDREN’S
LITURGY OF THE WORD
Beginning May 11, Immaculate Conception parish will be offering the
Children’s Liturgy of the Word as part of both the 11:00am and 6:00pm Sunday
Masses. The Children’s Liturgy of the
Word will be celebrated the second and fourth Sundays of each month throughout
the year. Children who are 5-10 years
old will be invited to participate in this activity. This ministry will proclaim the scripture to
the children using the Children’s Lectionary.
The readings are similar to those read in Mass, but they are expressed
in simpler form to allow the children a better understanding. The children will have an opportunity to
reflect on these readings and how they pertain to their lives. Please pray for this ministry and the
children who will be attending.
ST. VINCENT FOOD PANTRY
When was the last
time you wondered where your next meal was coming from? Our St. Vincent DePaul food pantry hears
daily from our neighbors who are in need of food for their families. To help keep our shelves stocked, we have
placed a barrel in the main vestibule for you to drop your food and other
non-perishable donations. We appreciate
all you can give…but please, we CANNOT accept items that are past their
expiration dates.
ST. VINCENT DEPAUL CAR DONATION PROGRAM
Donate your vehicle
to St. Vincent DePaul and all the proceeds stay in our local community. The benefits help to transform the life of a
homeless person. St. Vincent offers free
title transfer, free vehicle pick up within 24 hours and the possibility of a
tax deduction. Please call 222-3661 for
more information.
