A Night with the Word of God - January 15
Join us on January 15, 2025, at 7:00 PM in our church for a night with the Word of God. Scripture is “inspired.” We call it the Word of God, and “inspired” means breathed into. God breathes life into the Scriptures just as God breathed life into Adam and Eve.
Indeed the Word of God is alive and active, sharper than any two-edged sword penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)

Meals for the Hungry - January 18th
As a parish, we serve dinner to ~150-200 people on the third Saturday of every month. We ask that food donations be delivered in disposable (ie, aluminum) pans and that each donation be enough to feed 15 people. Donations can be dropped off at the Immaculata kitchen (attached to the school) between 4:15 and 5:00 pm on Saturday. Food will be kept warm and cold as necessary until transport to Urban Ministry on Liberty Street, where meals will be served in person.

Volunteer Opportunity: Campus Maintenance Help Needed
We are looking for volunteers to assist with maintenance tasks on our campus. If you're interested in contributing your time and skills to help keep our campus in great shape, we'd love to have you join us! For more information or any questions, please contact Johnny. Thank you for your support!
Love Fund Ministry
The Love Fund Ministry is looking for more volunteers, including bilingual individuals. We are looking for intake specialists - people who will talk with the neighbors in need who call the Love Fund line. We could also use some more home visitors - people who will go visit the neighbor and see how we can best help them. The great thing about this ministry is that the times are flexible so you can schedule around your availability and you get to help those in need too! If you are interested in learning more about this ministry, contact Margie.
Immaculate Sponsor Opportunities
As we enter the third year of our Newsletter, we are looking for businesses that may want to sponsor the Newsletter. Each week we send the Newsletter to 2,400 people. 66% of the people open the email (which is well above the average open rate). If you have a business and would like fellow parishioners to support you, why not take an ad as a sponsor? Experience has shown us that parishioners choose to support our sponsors. We have created a two-tier pricing option for interested businesses. Your business information will be in the Newsletter, on the website, and the screen in the gathering space. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, contact Fabian and our team will be happy to help you to create your design.
Bishop's Annual Appeal

Don't miss out on the opportunity to participate in the Bishop’s Annual Appeal which funds many ministries that allow us to educate the next generation. In addition to the ongoing formation of the priests and deacons currently serving in our diocese, the Bishop’s Annual Appeal provides funds needed to educate our future Priests. The Bishop’s Annual Appeal also provides opportunities for our elementary, middle, and college-age youth to grow in their Catholic faith through Catholic schools and campus ministry. Special cameo of our Immaculata Eagles in today’s short. We are celebrating 100 years of our Diocese Learning from our History and Shaping our Future.
