BAPTISMS Presenting a child for Baptism is a serious obligation and requires a
faith commitment on the part of the parents and godparents. This
commitment is exemplified by being a practicing, active Catholic.
Parents are obligated to attend a preparation session before a child’s
baptism if they have not attended one in the past five years.
Sessions are held at 12:15 p.m. on second Sundays of January,
March, May, July, September and November, in the Parish Activity
Center. Please call the Parish Office to register. Baptisms are at
12:15 p.m. on the third Sunday of each month.
WEDDINGS Please phone the parish office to set-up an appointment with a
priest, in order to begin the sacramental preparation. Only after this
initial meeting and assessment can a date be set for the wedding.
The process requires at least 6 months.
NEW PARISHIONERS ARE WELCOME Please come to the parish office to register. If you have a change of
address, phone number or email, please inform the parish office.

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE, NOV. 22, 2020
Dear Parishioner,
As we celebrate Thanksgiving this week, we
give thanks for each of you and the blessing you are
to our parish family. Be assured our prayers for you
and your family as we enter into the joyous Advent
and Christmas Season.
Fr. Ken & Fr. Tim
Catholic Campaign for Human Development
Please be generous in this week’s special
collection for the Catholic Campaign for Human
Development. In the United States, one in six people
lives in poverty. With this collection, you support
programs that address the causes of poverty and
provide a sustainable future for those struggling
across the country. In addition, 25% of the funds we
collect will remain in our diocese to fund local
antipoverty projects. Please prayerfully consider how
you can support this collection and work on the
margins. More information about the Catholic
Campaign for Human Development can be found at
www.usccb.org/cchd/collection.
Remember in your prayers those who have
died, especially Ned Pryer and Fr. Tim’s mother, Bev
Corbet.
Legacies and bequests help continue the faith.
Please remember Immaculate Conception Parish in
your will and expressions of sympathy.

Bazaar Orders
Please have your soup order and payment
completed and put into the offering box or drop
off at the Parish Office no later than November
22. Pick up will be December 5 and 6, using a
drive through lane at the PAC.
Lend a Hand
We are seeking volunteers to be part of a
two to four person crew that cleans the sanctuary
and sacristies of our church. Some of our long
standing church cleaners have had to step down
from this position. Teams serve on a rotating
basis, of approximately every two months. This
could be an opportunity to meet and work with
other parishioners or get your spouse, siblings or
friends together and volunteer! Chores include
dusting, vacuuming and cleaning windows in
doors. Cleaning supplies are provided. Contact
the Parish Office if you can assist.
Angel Tree Program
Immaculate Conception Parish will once
again participate in the Angel Tree Program.
Two Christmas trees decorated with tags have
been set up in the back of church. Remove a tag
or a couple of tags from the tree and purchase a
toy. There will be NO clothing tags this year.
Return the gift(s) to the tables at the doors of
church, along with the tag attached to the gift, by
Dec. 3. Please DO NOT wrap the gifts.
The Angel Tree Program brings people and
agencies of Mercer County together to provide
some Christmas gifts to people in need. This is a
great family project for the Advent Season!
Thank you for helping to make Christmas a little
brighter for some area families!
Food Collection
On Thanksgiving and through the
following weekend we will be collecting non-
perishable food items to be distributed to Celina
food pantries. Food pantries are not permitted to
distribute food items with expired dates so please
check expiration dates on all items. Please come
to mass on those days with an item or items to be
donated and place them on the tables at the
entrances to the church. Be thankful for what
God has given you by sharing your gifts with
others. Thank you for your generosity!
Gift Cards for Thanksgiving Shopping!!! Buy your gift cards now so you’re ready to
go to the store for all your Thanksgiving needs! We
carry Chief, Friendly, and Walmart cards, so
purchase those for the food you will buy for
Thanksgiving dinner. We have Pullman Bay and
Bob Evans cards for your pies too. Yum!!! Scrip is
such an easy, cost-free way to earn $$$ for our
school. Please participate and have a HAPPY
THANKSGIVING!
Everyday Stewardship – Recognize God In
Your Ordinary Moments
There Is Much to Be Done Growing up Catholic means I must have
heard a million times the passage in Matthew’s
Gospel about how doing things for the “least of
these” means you have done them for Jesus. Okay,
that is an exaggeration to make a point. But it has
been a slogan for so many social justice activities,
from clothing and canned food drives, to letter
writing campaigns and peaceful protests.
Growing up I only knew how to help the
least of these through the school and church
activities of the time. Today, YouTube and
GodTube are filled with videos of creative ways
people reach out to one another. Have you seen the
one about the pizza party for the homeless? How
about the fake lottery ticket or the house bought
from online donations for a poor man? There are
even videos of people paying for the car behind
them at the drive-through! The awesome thing
about this is that it serves as a witness to others.
It is not boasting but instead sharing the Good
News. Giving and good stewardship can be
contagious!
Our pastor has several times over the years
handed out $10 bills to confirmation candidates
and asked them to “pay it forward.” They can keep
the money or use it to make a difference in
someone else’s life. One teen planted a garden for
an elderly woman. One bought ingredients for
brownies and sold them to give even more than
$10 to charity. The teens not only learned
something about good stewardship in the process,
but also served as great examples to the parish
community.
As always, there is much to be done. The
King is coming soon! Let’s spread the news and
some love at the same time!
