Dear Parishioners,
Happy Friday. I hope everyone has recovered from their "Valentine's Day" celebrations. February 14 is a big day for florists, chocolatiers, restaurants, and jewelers, and many of us today are detoxing from the Hershey, Ghirardelli, and Godiva pulsing through our veins. But, as you purge the cocoa and sugar out of your system, remember St. Valentine of Rome, and thank him for his martyrdom way back in 269 - and do remember that February 14 is St. Valentine's Day - first and foremost a celebration of the Faith.
Now on to the news!

The Cardinal's Annual Stewardship Appeal
We haven't officially kicked off the 2019 Cardinal's Appeal, and already ICC is doing better than last year. Participation updates are posted on our website's homepage as we receive them, so we can share with you how we're doing.

SPRING IS COMING
As our fabulous Spring Fling committee puts the final touches on plans for the big day (and the big reveal), it is time to start planning our signature event - the silent auction! It's your contributions of special items like tickets to shows, events, games and concerts, vacation homes, luxury goods, culinary escapades, and other impressive items that make the event such a hit! Contact Marylou Banino at (914) 591-7480 to make a donation, or for more information.
For the Guys
As for our men*, ICC now has an organization dedicated to the Faith, just for you. The Holy Name Society will be our parish's counterpart to the A & R, organizing charitable activities, promoting the faith, and enjoying the occasional social. Join the team!
*Beards and mustaches optional!
That's it for this week's news. Make certain to visit our website for more information, and watch the scroll at the top of the page for updates and coming events.
Enjoy the long President's Weekend, and be safe wherever your travels take you. (...hopefully here on Sunday!)
