Easter is here!

Happy Easter to all! Christ is risen indeed! From all of us at Immaculate Conception Parish to you and yours, may this Easter season be a blessed and happy one.

Pictures from our beautiful Easter vigil will be posted here soon. Anyone have pictures from Easter Sunday Masses? Please forward them to us!

Thank you to everyone who made Holy Week a beautiful and holy time at IC.

Get Out Your Sacramental Suit!

It's a Sacrament-filled Sunday here at I.C.  At 1:00 PM we celebrate 5 Baptisms in the chapel (and we hope you know you are always invited to come and "cheer" for our newest Catholics).

 

At the 5:00 PM Mass we'll be celebrating the Confirmations of 40 of our young people and adults. This is always a beautiful and meaningful Mass, so we hope you'll join us. 

Oh, and don't forget, this Sunday many of the churches in Malden (including ours) will be participating in a city-wide open house. Look for balloons at the doors of churches that are open and step on inside. You can read more about it here. Cool idea, and this is the first attempt so your participation will make it a success.

And of course there's always the beautiful sacrament of Eucharist, offered at every Mass. Check out the Mass schedule on this very webpage for your chance to join your parish family in prayer!

Happy Easter everyone!

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.
