Dear Parishioners,
The excitement of parish life was never greater than this week. In a mere 5 days we've grappled with boilers (yes, again), insects, roofs (yes, also again), and on and on and... None of these scenarios were ever included in St. Joseph Seminary's "Priesthood 101" course.
However, it does make for some great dinnertime conversation with Fr. Roy and Fr. Raju. Yes, he's back! We are always grateful to have Fr. Raju here. Please make sure to give him a warm welcome when you see him this weekend!
With that said, your concern for our parish grounds is always appreciated, and if you ever see something that "makes you go hmmm?", let one of us, or the office staff, know.
Wedding Anniversary Mass
We've been mentioning the big day for months, and it has finally arrived. Please join the nine wonderful couples who are celebrating some pretty impressive wedding anniversaries this year, at the Sunday 10AM Mass this weekend. There will be a reception in the Vic following the Mass to celebrate them, and to give you a little sustenance before you hit the pool... the park... the mall... the fairways... or wherever you are headed.

Children mean love, happiness, and expenses! Got kids? Take advantage of our REP Early Bird Registration before August 1.

IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE
Whether you go away for the summer, or you don't come to Mass because... well... I can't really say what would be more important than coming to Mass, please continue to support ICC. It's easy to make your donations online (if you're reading this, you're half way there), and you can stop, restart, and change them any time you like. Sign up for WeShare by clicking the image above.
That's it for today. Please keep our anniversary couples in your prayers, as well as two couples who will be getting married right here at home this weekend. Ain't love grand?! Especially our Father's love for us. Never forget Him.
Remember those who gave all for our freedoms on D-Day.
Sincerely Yours in Christ,
Fr. Ashman
