Immaculate Conception Parish is pleased to announce "The Question of the Week". Each week you will find a question here in the bulletin and also on our parish website at IC-Parish.com The purpose of the question is to provide you with an opportunity to consider the Gospel message a little more personally. You are encouraged to discuss your thoughts with family members and parish family members. We have also included a "Question of the Week" for the younger members of our parish family.
