Celebrate the Easter season by taking a minute each day to view these reflections. While you are at it, explore the new site and see all that the USCCB has for you.

So many people come to our Outreach food pantry. In March 2012 we gave food to 171 families, including 304 children and 383 adults.

One of our customers is a senior citizen living alone on a fixed income. She has no family members to help her, so she comes to us.

One family had to move in with another whole family just to keep from being homeless. They have 13 people sharing one apartment, and they come to us for help.

Can you help us help them?

Our pantry is in desperate need of the following items:

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

Father Robert Barron, a priest from the archdiocese of Chicago, has released a breathtaking series of videos on our Catholic faith.  The ICC Adult Education Committee is currently planning the fall and winter calendars, so stay tuned for more details as to when these videos will be shown.  For now, we ask you to do three things:

1) Take some time to get acquainted with the Catholicism series by viewing the two promotional videos below or by checking out Fr. Barron’s ministry, Word on Fire.

2) Think about which family members and friends you can invite to witness these extraordinary explanations and celebrations of our ancient Catholic faith.  Then, use the Facebook and other social networking features at the bottom of this page to share this information with them.

3) Pray that God can use this new tool to draw many souls closer to Jesus and His Bride, the Catholic Church.

If you would like to express your interest in joining fellow parishioners in viewing this series, please email our Director of Religious Education, Sr. Grace, at re@iccparish.org.
