An
update on what's going on at Immaculate Conception Parish Today
Rev.
John J. Holliday, C.M.
Pastor
Spring/Summer 2010
Dear Friends of
Immaculate,
I would like to thank
all of the Friends of Immaculate for their generous support of our wonderful
parish. Many of you have already sent in your Spring Raffle tickets. This
is our major fundraiser of the year. If you need tickets, please call the
office at (215) 843-9468. We would also like to thank all of the
advertisers and sponsors of this web site for their support. All of the
revenue goes to the parish to help us to maintain the beautiful church and
grounds here in East Germantown.
At the Easter Vigil
this year we had eight teenagers and one child receive the Sacrament of
Baptism. On Sunday, May 1, Bishop Timothy Senior administered the Sacrament
of Confirmation to fourteen young adults. We have been truly been blessed
to have these young adults become new members of the Church and of our
parish.
We also made our annual
move back upstairs to the beautiful upper church on the first weekend of
May. I am frequently asked if we still use the upper church. Each year we
use the upper church from the first weekend of May through the last weekend
of October.
We move downstairs to
the lower church on the first weekend of November and use the lower church
through the end of April. So, the spring and summer months are a great time
to stop by and join us for Mass on Sunday. As you can see in the photos on
this website, the upper church has not changed at all and is still as
beautiful as you remember it.
Here are some upcoming
events at the Immaculate:
 |
The annual
Homecoming and Healing Mass will be at the 10 AM Mass on Sunday, June
6. The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick will be available. There
will be a reception with light refreshments in the lower church social
room after Mass. We will have the drawing for the Spring Raffle on that
day. Please call the parish office at (215) 843-9468 if you have not
received your raffle tickets yet. |
