This ministry helps families cope with grief. The sadness felt after the death of a loved one can bring life to a grinding halt. We offer a support session on the second Thursday of the month. 

This ministry is dedicated to reaching out to those with a variety of disabilities and ensure, as much as is possible, that they feel welcome in all ways at Immaculate Conception.

Our parish CYO and Mater Dei Academy CYO have many teams in various sports for the youth and teens of the parish. Women and men are needed to coach the various teams. 

Elizabeth Ministry is an international movement designed to support women and their families during the joys, trials and sorrows of the childbearing years and beyond. Elizabeth Ministry’s mission is to cherish children, encourage families and build community. We offer peer support, mentoring and spiritual nourishment.

The Hospitality Committee promotes a welcoming atmosphere in the parish. They host welcoming events like dinners for all parishoners and friends and other get-togethers.

Our parish joins with Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish in youth ministry through the Life Teen program. All high school youth are welcome. Adults 20 years and older are needed to plan and carry out the Life Nights, which begin with Mass at 5:30 p.m. each Sunday.

Although parents of high school youth are not part of the Core Team, they are encouraged to be part of the Support Team, which helps to support the activities of the Life Teen program.

The Booster Club supports the athletic program through its fund-raising.

The entire parish comes together the third full weekend in July to sponsor the annual "Oktoberfest in July." The preparations involved are numerous, and we rely on the hands of many to successfully put on this event.

Parishioners "take ownership" of the parish grounds by utilizing their labor along with any gardening and landscaping skills.

MISSION STATEMENT

“The mission of the Immaculate Conception Parish Wellness Ministry is rooted in respect for the dignity of every human life.  We strive to promote awareness of the connection between faith and health and to enhance the integrity of body, mind and spirit for members of our community by providing support, education and screening activities.”

What is a wellness ministry?

Following the example of Jesus’ healing ministry, a wellness ministry addresses the health of the whole person - - body, mind and spirit.  The group is made up of parish nurses, physicians, other medical/dental professionals and even non-medical parishioners working together to promote an understanding of the relationship between lifestyle, faith and well-being.  Activities are designed to empower individuals and families in the parish community to become more active participants in the management of their health.   In this age of overburdened health care systems, our health promotion activities can help fill the gaps in health education and support.  


Upcoming Events

Free blood pressure screenings are done monthly by members of the Wellness Ministry in the gym after the 8:00 and 10:00 masses on coffee-and-donut Sunday.
