Join us on  Fri., Feb. 3, for the traditional Blessing of Throats in memory of St. Blaise. The Blessing will be given at the end of the 12:10 p.m. Mass.

Pray the Rosary at IC:  A Rosary for the Blessed Mother is prayed after the 8:30am Mass on the first Saturday of each month.  We meet after Mass in front of the Blessed Mother statue.  Join us on Sat., Feb. 4.

Cursillo Prayer Group meets weekly on Saturdays after the 8:30 a.m. Mass until 10 a.m., in the Cry Room area of the church.  Everyone is invited to attend, especially those who have attended a Cursillo weekend or are thinking about attending a future weekend.  We come together to share our lives of Christian prayer, study, and action, and to encourage one another as we continue our spiritual journeys.  For info, contact Ted Newsom at 206-3507.    

The ICWG Rosary Makers will hold a "Rosary Making Marathon" on Sat., Feb. 4, 9:30 - 11:30 a.m., in the parish hall.  We plan to make at least 200 rosaries for our Haiti Visitation Team to take with them on their trip.  All materials will be provided. No experience is necessary—just a willing heart and working hands.  For more info, call Pat at 687-0050.

Living the Eucharist:  Sign-up in the parish hall after each Mass this weekend. Members of the Immaculate Conception Eucharist for Life Committee will be available to answer any questions and assist you in determining which activity best suits you and your family. There will be more specific information in each weekly bulletin about the ways you can participate in this powerful and enriching experience.

A Fundraiser for the IC Food Pantry:  After the 6 p.m. Mass on Sat., Feb. 4 and all the Masses on Sun., Feb. 5, members of the IC FISH Team will be in the back of the church collecting money for the IC Food Pantry.  All money collected will go to the IC Food Pantry.  In 2011, the IC Food Pantry gave out food to 1,550 families, which fed 3,301 people.

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion Training: Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are needed for all weekend Masses. Please call the church office at 522-1508 to register for one of these training sessions to be held in the church: Sun., Feb. 5, 12:45 - 2:45 p.m.; Sat., Feb. 18, 3:30 - 5:30 p.m.  If you would like to become a Minister but cannot attend one of these training sessions, please leave your name and number at the office and you will be contacted.  All Ministers are required by the Diocese to take a VIRTUS Training Class before being assigned to serve. The session takes about three hours and a $1.00 donation is requested to help defray the cost of materials.  A session will be held at All Saints on Sat., Feb. 25, at 1:30 p.m.  To register, visit www.virtus.org.  Click on Registration.

Haiti Mission Trip:  Please keep our Haiti Committee members in your prayers as they travel to Haiti, February 10-18, on a medical mission trip.  We also ask for your continued prayers for our sisters and brothers at St. Francis Xavier parish, our twin parish in Fond des Blancs, Haiti.

Collection for Roof and Ceiling Repair Fund:  In addition to repairing the hail damage from last year’s storms, we hope to replace the church’s aging slate roof and the acoustic tile ceiling inside the church. A special fund has been established to help offset the expense.  To build up this fund, there will be a special “Blue Envelope” collection on the 2nd Sunday of every month. 

A Winter High Tea at IC will be held Sun., Feb. 19, 2 - 3:30 p.m., in the parish hall. All are welcome to come for friendly conversation and good food.  Call Judy at 607-2112 to reserve your seat.
