Ecumenical Connections

Immaculate Conception Church actively participates in inner city, interfaith organizations including Knoxville Inner City Churches United For People (KICCUP), Knoxville Interfaith Network (KIN) and Operation Inasmuch.

Operation Inasmuch is a one-day church-wide local blitz of helping hands helping people "...Truly, I say to you, in as much as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me." Instead of one big project, an Operation Inasmuch day involves numerous smaller projects that minister to the local community. No project is too small; the hallmark of operation inasmuch is that projects are completed within one-day. For more information click on the Operation Inasmuch button.
