IC Preschool DASHES
for the Breathing Room Foundation
Lots of cheers and excitement iwere heard n front of our school on Wednesday, September 25.
IC Preschoolers raised money for the Breathing Room Foundation as they dashed down West Avenue.
The individual classrooms raised money and competed to be the class with the most money so they could earned an ice cream party.
Thanks to all who were a part of this fundraiser.

Baptism Suppers
Our newest members of the parish are celebrated at the monthly Baptism Suppers at the rectory. For families who have not attended a Baptism class, our priests host a dinner where they can answer the questions of the new parents and get to know them before the baptism of the baby. A 'presenting couple' is also there to add their experiences to the evening.
We are always looking for volunteer presenting couples. For more information contact the office: icr604west@gmail.com.
Respect Life Sunday, October 6, 2024
CV NEWS FEED //The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is encouraging Catholics to celebrate Respect Life Month with “a revival of prayer and action,” since abortion remains the “pre-eminent priority” in the country’s political climate.
Bishop Michael F. Burbidge, the USCCB’s Chairman of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities, issued a statement exhorting Catholics to renew their commitment “to work for the legal protection of every human life, from conception to natural death” this October, which the Church has observed as Respect Life Month since 1973.
“We must call for policies that assist women and their children in need, while also continuing to help mothers in our own communities through local pregnancy help centers,” the Bishop stated, adding that Catholics must “extend the hand of compassion” to those who participated in an abortion.
“Most importantly, we must rededicate ourselves to fervent prayer on behalf of life,” Bishop Burbidge urged.
A WORD FROM OUR PASTOR
A Memorial for a Loved One
In my experience, parishioners are occasionally interested in sponsoring parish projects to memorialize a loved one.
The two praying angels in our sanctuary, as well as the large crucifix are in need of refurbishing. The cost for each angel is $1245 and $8000 for the crucifix.
Please let Father Howarth or the office know, if you would be interested.
