Blogging and Spring Fever at Immaculate Conception!

We've had a veritable tech explosion here at I.C. over the past couple of weeks. You know we've always had a great website, thanks to our own Scott Morin's eye for design. But now we're branching out into new horizons with a Facebook page and we're tweeting on Twitter, too. Now there's just no way you can go a single day without knowing all the goings-on at I.C. 

It's a busy place these days, with Lent drawing to a close and can-you-believe-it's-Holy-Week-already, practically? (Hands up if you still have Christmas decorations still displayed somewhere in your house!) Tonight the whole church building was in use - the Knights of Columbus met in the hall to make crosses out of palms, the choir rehearsed the Passion in the upper church, the Faith Sharing group shared the rest of the meeting rooms with the Boy Scouts, and the Confirmation candidates were in the chapel hearing a great talk from their own Deacon Mark Rumley. 

You can tell by the energy around I.C. that Easter is near... and by the new green shoots coming up outside the elevator entrance.

Lent 2009 - CALL TO CONVERSION

Lent is the Church's penitential season.  In many ways, the days of Lent are meant to help us remember what and who we really are.  By understanding traditional disciplines of prayer, fasting, increased almsgiving, and other practices of charity, we are preparing ourselves to renew our baptismal commitment when we celebrate the Lord's victory over sin and death at Easter.
