Every week our parish Outreach ministry provides food for hundreds of hungry men, women and children.

For both the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays we pack food baskets for 90-100 families.

How can you help? Easy. Participate in our Annual Food Drive.

Fill a bag with non-perishible food items, and drop it off at Immaculate Conception or St. Jude churches or the Parish Center any time theses buildings are open.

At this time our pantry is in desperate need of ALL food items, including the following:

• mac & cheese
• baked beans
• soup
• instant potatoes
• rice a roni
• fruit
• cereal
• pasta

Our parish is now using a new communication tool, Flocknote.

Flocknote will allow parishioners to receive text messages, emails, and phone calls from our parish staff and those involved in parish ministries and activities. It was designed by Catholics for Catholic parishes, schools and organizations.

Flocknote will be our new parish registration tool (coming soon on the parish web site.)

For existing parish members, your Flocknote registration will allow us to update our information and will give you the opportunity to subscribe to any lists you like.

If you or a family member are involved in any ministry (music, religious education, liturgy, youth ministry, adult education, athletics, scouting, adult education… and more) please sign up today and stay connected to all the news and reminders you need.

It’s so simple. Here’s how to register:

1. Click [here] to register.
2. Enter your name and email address or phone number.
3. Check your email or phone for a verification message and confirm your registration.
4. Complete the registration form.
5. Choose the lists/ministries to which you belong or would like to belong.
6. Choose your subscription settings (Do you want to be contacted by email or text message? For phone calls only, please contact the parish office to activate that option.)

Welcome to the Flock!
