Immaculate Conception Parish - Catechism

Today is a beautiful day, we celebrate our friends in receiving their sacrament of Communion for the first time.

Please join us in celebrating this wonderful chapter in faith.

Good Evening everyone!

We wanted to remind you all that the last class for catechism was last week on Wednesday May 13th!

The only children continuing with their catechism classes this Wednesday May 20th are our First Communion and Confirmation groups.

We are so proud of all of the kids for their hard work this year - and look forward to starting the new catechism year in September.

Check your inboxes and this page as we get closer to September for all updates!
