In the celebration of the Mass, our parish family come together to grow in understanding of God’s Word and to share the gift of Christ himself in Communion. The Eucharist is the most important way in which the parishioners of Immaculate Conception demonstrate and celebrate their oneness with God.

Daily Mass 6:30 & 8:30 AM
Saturday: 8:30 AM only; Vigil: 5:00 PM
Sunday: 7:00, 8:30, 10:00, 11:30 AM; 1:00 & 5:30 PM

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION FOR CHILDREN

In order to prepare for First Holy Communion in the spring, children must first successfully prepare for and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.  

Click here for information regarding the preparation program for First Reconciliation.

The immediate preparation for the celebration of the Sacrament of Holy Communion is done within the family home, with ongoing support from the parish staff. Parents of second graders (and older children who have not received the Sacrament) must attend an informational meeting that will assist them in preparing their children for First Holy Communion. This Parent Orientation will take place on Wednesday, January 25, 2012 @ 7pm in the TC Auditorium.  Textbooks and other required materials will be provided at this meeting.

According to Archdiocesan guidelines, children preparing to celebrate their First Holy Communion must be enrolled in either a Catholic school or the parish's School of Religion Program both during the year of preparation as well as the year immediately prior to preparation.  

Group celebrations for First Holy Communion will take place on April 28, 2012 and May 5, 2012 @ 10am the Church.  If you prefer that your child receive the sacrament for the first time during a regular Mass, arrangements can be made through Glenda Sorteberg, Director of Religious Education.
