YOUTH MINISTRY BAKE SALE - Feb. 4th & 5th

Pick up treats for your Super Bowl Party and support our young people at the same time. The weekend of Feb. 4th and 5th there will be a Bake Sale in the Gym after all the Masses. Our young people are participating in the 60th Annual Diocesan Youth Convention from Feb. 17 - 19, and the proceeds from the Bake Sale will help defray their registration fee ($165 per youth). Please help them as they embark on a weekend of learning, praying, and celebrating our Catholic Faith.

FISH of East Aurora has notified us that they are extremely low on food supplies and need our help in replenishing their pantry. Donations can be dropped off at Fish on Tuesday and Thursday mornings or here at Immaculate Conception Church.
THANKK YOU!!

On Wed., Sept 21st the Diocese of Buffalo presented the Best Practices in Parish Catechesis to our Parish at the Annual Catechetical Convocation. This excerpt from the award citation describes why we were selected for this honor: "the parish is organized around the unique needs of its people and the resources are allocated so that all ministries work together toward one common goal: the building of the Kingdom of God. Adult education, religious education for children, youth ministry, and a vibrant Catholic school are the primary modes through which Immaculate Conception Parish carries on its catechetical mission. We commend Fr. Bob and his entire staff for their commitment to the ministry of catechesis and especially for their ability to collaborate, share and support one another across ministries."

Register now for Continuing Education classes at the Seminary. All "Con Ed" classes are taught at an "Adult Ed" level for Catholics and designed to be of interest to most people. Courses include St. Teresa of Avila, St. Paul, Old Testament, Sacraments, Theology of God, Things We do At Mass, and Purgatory. Visit their website at www.cks.edu. Brochures are also available in the vestibule by the Book Rack. Also feel free to contact Deacon Don with questions.
