Dear Parishioners,

As our New Year email said, 2018 was a great year for ICC. You should be proud of your parish’s accomplishments. ICC's 2019 parish goal is to fill our pews with people of ALL ages. You can help that happen right now by clicking one link in this email before you close it. No matter which one you choose, you will be taking a step toward strengthening ICC.

ADD YOURSELF:

REGISTRATION

Registered parishioners are the only parishioners “that matter” when it comes time to determining whether a parish is going to stay open, or if it is going to close. If you attend Mass here, thank you for your faith. If you want to continue attending Mass here… register so that there will always be an Immaculate Conception Church in Irvington where you may receive your Sacraments.

ONLINE GIVING:

WeShare

ICC’s funding comes from you, not the Archdiocese. Financial viability is the second thing considered when determining whether a parish will stay open. Online donations help maintain a steady stream of financial support to ICC, even in the summer and over holiday weekends. Plus, there are advantages to donating online, especially in tax season. This year, support your parish all year.

GET STRONGER:

Formed

We live in confusing and stressful times, when Catholics and Catholic beliefs have gone from being “unpopular” to “unacceptable”. Sometimes we need a little help remembering why we believe what we believe, and even how to explain it to others. There are many great Catholic websites and leaders out there who can help you make sense of it all, but Formed.org has countless books, video series, podcasts, and movies that can help you learn more. Sign up for free.

Four choices. Four ways to help yourself and help your Parish. Whether you decide to make yourself count, support ICC year-round, strengthen your Faith, or keep up to date on parish happenings, you will be making a difference in your life, ICC's life, and life in Irvington.

Finally, tomorrow morning a group of hale and hearty parishioners... and Fr. Roy and myself... will be de-decorating the Church. Join us, get some exercise, have some sweets, and help get the church back in ordinary shape for Ordinary Time.

Come to Mass. I look forward to seeing you this Sunday.

Sincerely Yours in Christ,

Fr. Ashman
