The community of Immaculate Conception thrives due to the devotion of our priests and Deacon, but what gives life to the parish is the stewardship of many of our parishioners.

​

Here are some opportunities to grown closer to your faith and the people  here at ICC:

​

Lector: Readers are always needed to proclaim the first and second readings during Sunday Mass. There are lectors for Weekday Masses also. No special training is needed. Lectors for Sunday Masses are given a book each year with the readings listed, so preparation can be done prior to Mass.

​

Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion: Assist the celebrant at Mass  by distributing Our Blessed Lord in Holy Communion, and also in bringing the Eucharist to the sick or home-bound. Immaculate Conception serves five area nursing homes, bringing Communion to the residents there once a month. There are many opportunities to help others through this ministry.

​

Cantor at Mass: Music is a key element of the Liturgy. Immaculate has five Masses each weekend, three of which have music. Our Music Director is Vincent Di Francesco. The position of the Cantor is key in inspiring the congregation to participate fully in the Mass. Some music experience is necessary. 

​

Join our Choir: The Immaculate Conception choir is always looking for new members. Presently, there are 10 members with a variety of ages and singing experience. Under Vince's direction, the choir is constanly learning new music. Choir practice is every Wednesday night from 7-8:30 pm from September through mid-May. The choir sings once a month, usually at the 9:30 or 11:30 Mass.

​

For Our Youth:

Altar Serving: Assisting at Mass is a grace which is open to all who are in third grade and older, and have received their First Holy Communion. Father Howarth is flexible about scheduling and training. Vocations have coming from this important service to the church.​

Sacristan: There are many "behind the scene" jobs that are done before and after a liturgy. Young men or women who are interested in this position can read more click here.
