OCTOBER CONTRIBUTORS TO THE SANCTUARY LAMPSThe Sanctuary lamp burns constantly to proclaim the real presence of Jesus in the Tabernacle. For the month of October, two Sanctuary candles in the Church were donated by Don Harbaugh and the third candle was donated by the Wheeler Family. Thank you for your generosity.
DONATIONS TO THE SANCTUARY LAMPSParishioners interested in making a contribution to a candle for one or more of the three Sanctuary Lamps in the Church, please contact Sue Beman at (614) 214-5333 or [email protected] to make arrangements. Contributors’ names will be included in the Sunday bulletin. The suggested offering is $25.00 per candle. The I.C. Women’s Club thanks you for supporting this ministry.
SCHEDULING MASS INTENTIONSOne of the greatest acts of charity is to pray for the living and the dead (a spiritual work of mercy). The greatest and most powerful prayer we have is the Mass, since the fruits of the Mass are the very fruits of Jesus’ redemption. You can schedule a Mass intention for deceased friends and loved ones by calling the parish office at (614) 267-9241, or by turning in a written request (iccols.org). Mass stipends (offerings) are $10 each. Mass intentions can also be requested for special intentions.
IN OUR PARISH SACRAMENT OF HOLY MATRIMONY: We congratulate Marissa Deerwester and Michael Powell who were married at Immaculate Conception on October 11, 2020.
LIVE-STREAM LINKImmaculate Conception transitioned to a new live-stream platform. To view the Mass either live-streamed or recorded, please go to the parish website at www.iccols.org and click on the link under “View the Mass” on the Home Page OR go to https://www.iccols.org/icmass/.

NEW PARISH MINISTRIES – WE NEED YOU!We are creating two new ministries for the parish, both created to address the COVID-19 health crisis. These ministries are open to all parish members, including school families and high school students seeking service hours. Our plan is to fill these ministries with sufficient numbers to rotate among members, to potentially serve once per month on a rotating basis.
Parish Sanitization Ministry: This ministry entails sanitizing the church and adjoining spaces after church events, including regular weekday and weekend Masses (with the potential to include sacraments and special events). Also included, will be special events that may take place in Marian Hall throughout the year. With our purchase of Misting Devices, the process is much faster than before. The only limitation for this ministry is that the volunteer be comfortable in the environment, and not part of a high-risk group. For further information or to sign-up, please contact Barb Fortkamp at [email protected], Elizabeth DeLuca at [email protected], or contact the Parish Office at [email protected].
Live-stream Ministry: This ministry will be responsible for manning and operating the church live-stream equipment for daily and weekend Masses (for homebound and transmitting to the overflow area in Marian Hall), and sacraments; additionally weddings and funerals will be live-streamed for those that request this option. Basic technical knowledge of computers, software,
web browser, and/or video cameras is helpful. On-site training is required for anyone interested. This ministry is seeking dependable volunteers with a passion for the Mass and assisting those who cannot attend due to Social Distancing or COVID-19 precautions. High-school age members with the skillsets and the need for service hours may also apply! For additional information, or to sign up, please contact Jacob Lammers at [email protected] or the Parish Office, [email protected].
HAVE YOU SUFFERED THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE?Join us for the All Souls’ Day Mass on Monday, November 2 at 7 p.m. Friends and family are invited to gather for this time of reflection and prayer. Names of loved ones will be read during the Mass and there will be an opportunity to light a votive candle in their remembrance. In order to have your loved one included, please RSVP to Barb Fortkamp at [email protected] by October 30. (Note: There is also a morning All Souls’ Day Mass at 8:30 a.m.)
ZOOM EVENING ROSARYPlease join IC parishioners praying the Rosary on Zoom each evening at 8:30 p.m. Email Don Muenz, [email protected] for a link and passcode.
HOME AND SCHOOL DINE OUT/CARRY OUT NIGHTThe next Home and School Association dine out night is Tuesday October 20, 2020 from 5-9 p.m. at the Clintonville Chipotle located at 4489 N High Street. You can place your order online for pickup at the time that works for you. Please enter Promo Code 6KB94LQ upon checkout where indicated.

The Challenge of Forming Consciencesfor Faithful Citizenship
Part II of II: Making Moral Choices and Applying Our PrinciplesThis brief document is Part II of a summary of the US bishops’ reflection, Forming Consciences for
Faithful Citizenship, which complements the teaching of bishops in dioceses and states.
Part I of the summary of the US bishops’ reflection, Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, considered the core prin-ciples that underlie Catholic engagement in the political realm. Part II is a consideration of the process by which these principles are applied to the act of voting and taking positions on policy issues. It begins with the general consideration of the nature of conscience and the role of prudence. The appli-cation of prudential judgment does not mean that all choices are equally valid or that the bishops’ guidance and that of other church leaders is just another political opinion or policy preference among many others. Rather, Catholics are urged to listen carefully to the Church’s teachers when they apply Catholic social teaching to specific proposals and situations.
How Does the Church Help the Catholic Faithful to Speak About Political and Social Questions?
A Well-Formed ConscienceThe Church equips its members to address political questions by helping them develop well-formed consciences. “Con-science is a judgment of reason whereby the human person recognizes the moral quality of a concrete act. . . . [Every person] is obliged to follow faithfully what he [or she] knows to be just and right” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 1778). We Catholics have a lifelong obligation to form our consciences in accord with human reason, enlightened by the teaching of Christ as it comes to us through the Church.
The Virtue of Prudence The Church also encourages Catholics to develop the virtue of prudence, which enables us “to discern our true good in every circumstance and to choose the right means of achiev-ing it” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 1806). Prudence shapes and informs our ability to deliberate over available alternatives, to determine what is most fitting to a specific context, and to act. Prudence must be accompanied by cour-age, which calls us to act. As Catholics seek to advance the common good, we must carefully discern which public policies are morally sound. At times, Catholics may choose different ways to respond to social problems, but we cannot differ on our obligation to protect human life and dignity and help build, through moral means, a more just and peaceful world.
Doing Good and Avoiding EvilThere are some things we must never do, as individuals or as a society, because they are always incompatible with love of God and neighbor. These intrinsically evil acts must always be rejected and never supported. A preeminent example is the intentional taking of innocent human life, as in abortion. Similarly, human cloning, destructive research on human embryos, and other acts that directly violate the sanctity and dignity of human life including genocide, torture, and the tar-geting of noncombatants in acts of terror or war, can never be justified. Nor can violations of human dignity, such as acts of racism, treating workers as mere means to an end, deliberately subjecting workers to subhuman living conditions, treating the poor as disposable, or redefining marriage to deny its essential meaning, ever be justified.
Opposition to intrinsically evil acts also prompts us to recognize our positive duty to contribute to the common good and act in solidarity with those in need. Both opposing evil and doing good are essential. As St. John Paul II said, “The fact that only the negative commandments oblige always and under all circumstances does not mean that in the moral life prohibitions are more important than the obligation to do good indicated by the positive commandment.”1 The basic right to life implies and is linked to other human rights such as a right to the goods that every person needs to live and thrive—including food, shelter, health care, education, and meaningful work.
Avoiding Two TemptationsTwo temptations in public life can distort the Church’s defense of human life and dignity: The first is a moral equiv-alence that makes no ethical distinctions between different kinds of issues involving human life and dignity. The direct and intentional destruction of innocent human life from the moment of conception until natural death is always wrong and is not just one issue among many. It must always be opposed. The second is the misuse of these necessary moral distinc-tions as a way of dismissing or ignoring other serious threats to human life and dignity. Racism and other unjust discrimi-nation, the use of the death penalty, resorting to unjust war, environmental degradation, the use of torture, war crimes, the failure to respond to those who are suffering from hunger or a lack of health care or housing, pornography, human traffick-ing, redefining civil marriage, compromising religious liberty,
-
or unjust immigration policies are all serious moral issues that challenge our consciences and require us to act.
Making Moral ChoicesThe bishops do not tell Catholics how to vote; the responsi-bility to make political choices rests with each person and his or her properly formed conscience, aided by prudence. This exercise of conscience begins with always opposing policies that violate human life or weaken its protection.
When morally flawed laws already exist, prudential judg-ment is needed to determine how to do what is possible to restore justice—even if partially or gradually—without ever abandoning a moral commitment to full protection for all human life from conception to natural death (see St. John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae, no. 73).
Prudential judgment is also needed to determine the best way to promote the common good in areas such as housing, health care, and immigration. When church leaders make judgments about how to apply Catholic teaching to specific policies, this may not carry the same binding authority as uni-versal moral principles but cannot be dismissed as one polit-ical opinion among others. These moral applications should inform the consciences and guide the actions of Catholics.
As Catholics we are not single-issue voters. A candidate’s position on a single issue is not sufficient to guarantee a vot-er’s support. Yet a candidate’s position on a single issue that involves an intrinsic evil, such as support for legal abortion or the promotion of racism, may legitimately lead a voter to dis-qualify a candidate from receiving support.1
What Public Policies Should Concern Catholics Most? As Catholics, we are led to raise questions about political life other than those that concentrate on individual, mate-rial well-being. We focus more broadly on what protects or threatens the dignity of every human life. Catholic teaching challenges voters and candidates, citizens and elected officials, to consider the moral and ethical dimensions of public policy issues. In light of ethical principles, we bishops offer the fol-lowing policy goals that we hope will guide Catholics as they form their consciences and reflect on the moral dimensions of their public choices:
• Address the preeminent requirement to protect human life—by restricting and bringing to an end the destruc-tion of unborn children through abortion and provid-ing women in crisis pregnancies with the supports they need. End the following practices: the use of euthanasia and assisted suicide to deal with the burdens of illness and disability; the destruction of human embryos in the name of research; the use of the death penalty to combat crime; and the imprudent resort to war to address interna-tional disputes.
• Protect the fundamental understanding of marriage as the life-long and faithful union of one man and one woman
as the central institution of society; promote the comple-mentarity of the sexes and reject false “gender” ideologies; provide better support for family life morally, socially, and economically, so that our nation helps parents raise their children with respect for life, sound moral values, and an ethic of stewardship and responsibility.
• Achieve comprehensive immigration reform that offers a path to citizenship, treats immigrant workers fairly, pre-vents the separation of families, maintains the integrity of our borders, respects the rule of law, and addresses the factors that compel people to leave their own countries.
• Help families and children overcome poverty and ensure access to and choice in education, as well as decent work at fair, living wages and adequate assistance for the vul-nerable in our nation, while also helping to overcome widespread hunger and poverty around the world, espe-cially in the policy areas of development assistance, debt relief, and international trade.
• Ensure full conscience protection and religious freedom for individuals and groups to meet social needs, and so enable families, community groups, economic structures, and government to work together to overcome poverty, pursue the common good, and care for creation.
• Provide health care while respecting human life, human dignity, and religious freedom in our health care system.
• Continue to oppose policies that reflect racism, hostility toward immigrants, religious bigotry, and other forms of unjust discrimination.
• Establish and comply with moral limits on the use of military force—examining for what purposes it may be used, under what authority, and at what human cost—with a special view to seeking a responsible and effective response for ending the persecution of Christians and other religious minorities in the Middle East and other parts of the world.
• Join with others around the world to pursue peace, pro-tect human rights and religious liberty, and advance eco-nomic justice and care for creation.

WORLD MISSION SUNDAY joins all Catholics of the world into one community of faith. At Mass thatSunday, we recommit ourselves to our common vocation, through Baptism, to be missionaries, throughprayer, participation in the Eucharist, and by giving generously to the collection for the Society for the
Propagation of the Faith. This year, Pope Francis addresses his World Mission Sunday message to us as welive out our baptismal call to be sent forth to evangelize the world. This is the mission that all Christianshave received, and God gives us the grace to live it out wherever we may be. As we pray and respond on
World Mission Sunday here at home, we share in those celebrations taking place in every parish, seminary,school and convent all over the world. Together with the Church of Christ on mission in the world, we are
baptized and sent, providing the prayerful and financial support necessary to bring the Lord’s mercy andconcrete help to the most vulnerable communities in the Pope’s missions.
“May the love for the Church’s mission, which is a passion for Jesus and a passion for his people ‘growever stronger! ’”In a world where so much divides us, World Mission Sunday rejoices in our unity as
missionaries by our Baptism. And it provides an opportunity to support the life-giving presence of the Church among the poor and marginalized in more than 1,111 mission dioceses."
"It is Jesus you seek when you dream of happiness;he is waiting for you when nothing else you findsatisfies you; he is the beauty to which you are soattracted; it is he who provokes you with thatthirst for fullness that will not let you settle forcompromise; it is he who urges you to shed themasks of a false life.
FAITH FORMATIONWORLD MISSION SUNDAY World Mission Sunday,
organized by the Societyof the Propagation of theFaith, is a day set aside for
Catholics worldwide torecommit themselves tothe Church’s missionaryactivity through prayer
and sacrifice.
