An Invitation....
Trust and Hope

Most of us, especially those of a certain age, have witnessed the alarming decline over the years in Mass attendance and participation in the life of the Church. The reasons are many, but the fact is that only about 17% of Catholics attend Mass. The response to that reality by the Church in the U.S. has been to do its best to “manage the decline.”

There have been essentially three approaches: 1.) Close parishes gradually through a planning process, 2.) Close many parishes all at once (rip the band aid off). or 3) Allocate multiple parishes to a single priest and see what happens.

Archbishop Perez is leading an effort in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to take a different approach – a “Fourth Way.” Thus, we as an Archdiocese are embarking on a long-term approach to reverse the decline and actually grow the church. One of the themes of this endeavor is to recognize that we are in “Apostolic Times.” That is, we are a missionary church once again.

At our invitation, Brian McCarthy, the new head of Strategic Planning for the Archdiocese, has agreed to hold an information session for parishioners of Immaculate Conception and Our Lady Help of Christian parishes.

The session will be held at Our Lady Help of Christians on February 20th at 6:30PM. Please come and bring your questions with you. Your input is essential to the success of this important initiative.

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.
