Calling all ICC Group Leaders! Saturday, December 7, 2013, from 5 to 6:30 PM in the Church Hall. The purpose of this meeting is to recognize those who give so much to the parish, provide an opportunity to get to know each other better, and jointly discuss and discover how to best utilize the parish web site (www.immcon.org) for the promotion of your activities.

The decade of the 1960s began with such optimism and enthusiasm. On November 22, 1963, a day that will live in infamy, an assassin’s bullets changed America and changed the the way we live forever. Not only was a president dead, but also what died with him were the hopes and aspirations of the 1960’s being an even better decade than the 1950’s. After Kennedy’s assassination, it seemed the whole world changed and began to collapse. As the picture tube of television sets began to change from black and white, it seemed so did America’s understanding of Right and Wrong go from black and white to shades of gray. We can’t change the past, but we can do two things, learn from history and try to make the future brighter. The way to solve our personal problems and the problems of a nation is to turn to Jesus Christ. We know we will have a brighter future if we garner the spirit we had in the 1950’s and early 1960’s and truly once again be, “One Nation Under God.”

Join us on Dec. 12th from 8:30 to Noon for a time of reflection, laughter, prayer and fellowship.

“O my God, I firmly believe that you are one God in three divine persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I believe that your divine Son became man and died for our sins, and that he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the holy Catholic Church teaches, because in revealing them you can neither deceive nor be deceived. Amen”
