FIRST COMMUNION

Parish members will have the opportunity to choose the name of a child preparing to celebrate their First Communion. We ask that you pray for the child and their family throughout the weeks before our Parish celebration of First Communion, which will be the weekend of April 24th and 25th. Boxes with the names of the children are at the entrances of the church. Thank you!

MEET OUR NEW MUSIC DIRECTOR - Mikayla Rolling

“Mikayla is a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Music. Since graduating, she worked as a trumpet player for Norwegian Cruise Line until the pandemic hit the United States. After returning back to Eau Claire, she started working at Festival Foods where she has been since.

Mikayla grew up in the Catholic Church and began playing piano for mass in high school. She continued to play throughout college at the Newman Parish on campus, where she still frequently plays. Mikayla loves music, outdoor adventures, and being with friends and family. She is very excited to join the family at Immaculate Conception.”

Warmly let us welcome Mikayla to our community. We shall pray that the gift of her person, and
her talents will be used for the glory of God in our community.

U.S. Bishops' Action Alert opposing ERA & "Equality Act"

The U.S. Bishops ask the faithful to voice their opposition to a renewed attempt to ratify the deceptively named Equal Rights Amendment, as well as to speak out against the more recent, similarly named Equality Act, both of which threaten the true dignity of women and th elives of unborn children. They would also discriminate against the work of faith-based organizations. For more information and to make your voice heard, visit www.votervoice.net/USCCB/home.

THE OBLIGATION FOR THE ATTENDANCE OF HOLY MASS ON SUNDAYS AND ON HOLY DAYS IS SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE DUE TO THE PANDEMIC -- Bishop's Letter on Mass Attendance - 11/23/20
