MATRIMONY
The Sacred Sacrament of
A message from our pastor, Father Joseph Howarth
You or someone you know may be Catholic and married, but not through the Catholic Church. But you somehow believe that this is not quite right, that a marriage between Catholics is a sacrament and should take place in the presence of a priest.
You are correct. The Catholic Church gives tremendous importance to marriage, believing it to be a sacrament in the eyes of God. The union of man and woman in marriage is inherently holy, and calling for God's blessing. So the Church requires baptized Roman Catholics to marry before a priest or deacon. Unless they receive special permission, Catholics who exchange marriage vows before ministers of other faiths, or before civic officials are not considered validly married in the eyes of the Catholic Church.
The benefits of having your marriage blessed in the Church are enormous: peace of heart, oneness with the Church, an open door to the sacraments, and God's special blessing on your relationship.
Please call Father Howarth at the church office, 215-887-1501 or contact the church office to arrange a time to speak with him.
Maria and Trauger Adamkovic got engaged at ICC
after the Christmas Eve Mass in 2024 and were married here at on June 28, 2025. Maria is a member of our choir. We thank them for sharing this pictures with us!
Scenes from a Baptism Sunday....
September 14
Immaculate Conception celebrated the baptisms of five babies this past Sunday and one on Saturday. Welcome to Graham Davis Gerstenfield, Kaiden Christopher Best, Corinna Kate Best, Dominic James Chilleri, Millie Eve Licursi, Francis James Mc Guckin and congratulations to their families!!
More Improvements to our Church
The addition of the elevator has afforded many of our parishioners easier access to the Church. However, it became apparent that the door to the elevator entrance was not handicap accessible.
The situation has been remedied by a generous gift from Deacon Al Clay and his wife, Kathy. If you see them, you might want to thank them for this generous and thoughtful gesture.
A word of special thanks to Martin Stanton, who installed the necessary electrical connections for the operation of the door.
******
This past week, railings were added to the sanctuary in several different key places.
Look in our pews for the new Worship missal. Those attending daily Mass can grab a missalette from the tables coming into church.
Also, the app iBreviary contains all the readings and psalms for daily Mass. It is a free app you can add easily to your phone.
Baby changers were added to our men and women's handicapped stalls in the Church Hall bathrooms.
Thanks to the Paul and Perry Irwin for their work--another great improvement, especially for all of our young families.
Our Father's Fellowship Night, Burgers, Beers, and Brotherhood, was a huge success.
A big thank you to Pat Stanton for his leadership and the always supportive Knights of Columbus members who manned the barbecue!
Speaker Bill Dunaghy spoke to a packed audience about the importance of strong fathers and strong faith.
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: churchoffice@iccjenkintown.org
