Immaculate Conception Church

If you are not Catholic, we ask that you not receive communion.

However, those not receiving the Body of Christ and Precious blood are invited to come forward with their hands crossed over their chests for a special blessing.

Communion, or The Eucharist, is the most intimate expression of our faith. Catholics believe that the host is literally the body of Christ, transformed from bread by the priest presiding over the service. Most evangelicals think of Communion as symbolic, so it makes sense that they are not as strict about having the right relationship to it as Catholics and Orthodox Christians who believe it is a sacrament and the true presence of Christ.

If you are visiting with us, we don’t expect you to put money in the offering, and you are welcome to just let it pass you by. If you consider our parish your church home, we’d love for you to prayerfully consider giving to our parish on a weekly basis. You can give by check or cash during the service.
