Please consider helping in this month's Meals for the Hungry on Saturday, January 20th. Thank you for your generosity in feeding those in need. We ask that food donations be delivered in disposable (i.e., aluminum) pans and that each donation be enough to feed 15 people. Donations can be dropped off at the Immaculata kitchen (attached to the school). Food will be kept warm and cold as necessary until transport to Urban Ministries on Liberty Street, where meals will be served in person.

In Gratitude

The Friars of Immaculate Conception Parish thank you for your great generosity during the Christmas Season. May the Lord continue to bless all of you.

Love Fund

Thank you so much for your generosity this Christmas! We especially want to thank you for your donations to the second collection on Christmas which was for the Love Fund. Your donations totaled $9,826. As you know the Love Fund allows us to help those in need. Your generosity will allow us to help many people!  

Thank you RESPETO

Thank you to the RESPETO group for the Epiphany activities last Sunday; the play was wonderful. The Rosca and hot chocolate were appreciated by the kids.

Help needed

Each Monday, the food that was donated at Mass over the weekend is transported to Catholic Charities. We have different people scheduled each week of the month. Some health issues are not going to allow the couple that is scheduled for the fourth Monday of the month to continue with this work. If you can help transport the food once a month, please contact Margie and she will provide instructions.
