#weGIVECATHOLIC 2023 – THANK YOU!!!

To all parishioners and friends of the parish who made donations to our We Give Catholic project on Tuesday, November 28th, thank you. Because of your generosity, we raised $2525.00 towards making our dream of cleaning up and beautifying the area between the school and Waldeisen Hall a reality. If you missed the online campaign, but would like to help, you may write a check to Immaculate Conception with WeGiveCatholic on the memo line and mail it in or drop it off at the rectory. We are truly grateful.

Community Meal – May

Our next take-out meal will be be available on Tuesday, May 28th beginning at 4:30 pm in front of Waldeisen Hall. Menu: Mock chicken pot pie bread, dessert. If you know someone who might enjoy a delicious hot meal, come by and pick one up for them.

Pizza & Pumpkin Decorating 2023

A good time was had by all at our recent October 15th event. Many thanks go out to Lorie Papp, the Parish Activities Committee, Acme Stores, Rocco’s, Papa John’s, Papa-Roni’s & Marco’s Pizza restaurants. We have lots of fun-loving, creative people in our parish!

A visit from Mayor Horrigan

We received a call from Mayor Horrigan’s office letting us know that the Mayor wanted to come to the parish to present a proclamation honoring our 100th anniversary. WOW, what a surprise and an honor!! The Mayor along with Mr. Chris Ludle, Director of Public Service, and photographer Kyle Reynolds came on Wednesday, August 16th. The Mayor presented the proclamation, we presented him with one of our 100th anniversary cubes and a 100 Fun Facts booklet and then had him and Mr. Ludle sign our banner. The Mayor even took off his personal city lapel pin and presented it to Fr. Mike. The proclamation is on display under the hymn board so please come up to see it. Thank you, Mayor Horrigan!

Destroyed fire hydrant

If the rectory water woes weren’t enough, someone drove through and completely destroyed the fire hydrant in front of the Free Store (old school), taking out part of the telephone pole as well. We think gremlins are afoot! That hydrant had a water meter on it provided by the city to be used by those growing plants in the Community Garden and someone even stole the meter! The hydrant and meter have been replaced, but the pole still bears its scars.
