Dear Immaculate Conception Parishioners and Mission,

Greetings of peace and healing in Jesus Christ, be with you. Those are the words that the priest prays as he celebrates the Holy Mass, asking the Lord to send His divine healing and peace for his people, especially during these uncertain times of the pandemic. With God’s grace and blessings, I hope and pray that you and your loved ones are well. May be protected from this virus by doing the very best we can in adhering to the safety guidelines. Our Immaculate Conception Church and Mission have resumed in celebrating the weekday and Sunday Masses. We are using 50% of our worship space with proper distancing in the church and the Bishop continues to give a dispensation to the parishioners who are not yet comfortable in attending the Sunday worship. The live stream of Sunday 9:30 am and 5:00 pm (Spanish) Holy Masses are available on our Facebook page: Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church. The Church and its office continue to operate while observing the necessary safety guidelines so that we may administer the sacraments to the parishioners. With that being said, our parish and mission are dependent upon the Sunday offertory collections to continue its ministry and its ability to maintain our staff. We would be most grateful for your prayers and continued financial support of our Immaculate Conception Parish and Mission. I humbly ask you to please continue to send your Sunday offering by mail or visit us in the office. In addition our parish just launched its Online Giving. You can now access it through the online giving button on the MyParish App or visit our church website: www.icgc510.org and click the Online Giving. Your support throughout the year helps sustain our Church. Let our prayer of faith resound and may God’s healing and peace be with His people and the entire world. Yours in Christ,

Father Noly
