Five men of Holy Cross will profess perpetual vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart on the campus of the University of Notre Dame, including Aaron Morris, C.S.C. These men have discerned God's call during their years in formation and are now prepared to devote their lives to God as finally-professed members of the Congregation of Holy Cross. You are invited to participate in the Final Vows liturgy by joining via livestream by clicking on the blue title above. (The link will be updated to show Final Vows just before the Mass begins.)

Immaculate Conception Church is hosting a school supply drive for My Brother's Keeper (whose mission is to "To bring the Love and Hope of Jesus Christ to those in need."). This wonderful organization will distribute backpacks full of school supplies when they deliver furniture and groceries to families in need throughout the year. Supplies are being collected now through September 9 and can be dropped off inside the church (before or after Masses) or anytime on the porch of the rectory. For a list of needed supplies, please click the school bus image.

Let us gather and shine Christ's light into the world! Join us for Mass and a blessing for volunteers, catechists and students as they begin a new year in faith formation. Following Mass, pancakes, baked goods and fruit kabobs will be served in the gym. Along with music, games and Wally the Green Monster!

Registration for the 2024-2025 school year is open! Classes begin September 29. Please click the image to visit the Faith Formation page. If you have any questions, please contact Lynne Stewart, Faith Formation Coordinator at [email protected].
