Immaculate Conception Parish Faith Formation Mission Statement
Immaculate Conception Parish continues the mission of Jesus Christ to share, teach, serve, and celebrate God's Word so that his Kingdom may come in its fullness. “The ministry of catechesis serves the Church in that mission.” (NCD) Its chief aim is to make people’s faith “living, conscious, and active through the light of instruction.” (GCD 14).
Goals of the Faith Formation Program
At Immaculate Conception, we strive to provide an enriching, energetic, and engaging faith formation program for all ages. We use curriculums that pull on experiences and teach evangelization based on Scripture and Sacred Tradition of the Catholic Church while creating a safe atmosphere for spiritual growth in a community of faith. We are building on the foundations that will lead all of our participants to develop a deeper relationship with Jesus and a life of prayer and service to others while serving the needs of all learners in our program.* * * * *
Wednesday Night Class
Our Religious Education (Faith Formation) classes meet Wednesday evenings from 6:25-7:30, with our "Kick-Off" night being the Wednesday before Labor Day, and our final week (this year- 2023) being May 10th. All students in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade meet in our school gym for a weekly prayer service, then go to their designated areas with their Catechists.**************
Youth Ministry
Youth ministry activities are an amazing opportunity for middle school and high school students to grow in their faith and fellowship with each other. These activities occasionally take place on Wednesday evenings, but also on many weekends, during the summer, and as scheduled throughout the year.**********
Vacation Bible School
Each summer, the week before Father’s Day, we host Vacation Bible School at Immaculate Conception parish. The summer of 2022’s theme was “The Castle of Courage” and we learned about putting on the Armor of God and being strong in our faith. This summer, our VBS theme will be “Super Heros of Faith” and we are looking forward to celebrating a fun week with everyone again!
