Every week, Immaculate Conception is buzzing with activity. There are groups that pray together, groups that minister to other parishioners, and groups that reach out to the community. We have dozens of ministries to choose from! Part of being an active member of our parish is to find your niche - the ministry where your personal talents can best be put to use. This is what St. Peter meant when he wrote, "As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace." (1 Peter 4:10)
This program was developed to evangelize parishioners to give their time, talents and treasures to the church.
There are three subcommittees: Prayer, Ministry, and Finance.
