Immaculate Conception Parish Faith Formation Mission Statement

Immaculate Conception Parish in the Diocese of Sioux City, through the leadership of the pastor, continues the mission of Jesus Christ to preach and teach, to celebrate and to serve, so that God’s 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)
