BAPTISMS Presenting a child for Baptism is a serious obligation and requires a

faith commitment on the part of the parents and godparents. This

commitment is exemplified by being a practicing, active Catholic.

Parents are obligated to attend a preparation session before a child’s

baptism if they have not attended one in the past five years.

Sessions are held at 12:15 p.m. on second Sundays of January,

March, May, July, September and November, in the Parish Activity

Center. Please call the Parish Office to register. Baptisms are at

12:15 p.m. on the third Sunday of each month.

WEDDINGS Please phone the parish office to set-up an appointment with a

priest, in order to begin the sacramental preparation. Only after this

initial meeting and assessment can a date be set for the wedding.

The process requires at least 6 months.

NEW PARISHIONERS ARE WELCOME Please come to the parish office to register. If you have a change of

address, phone number or email, please inform the parish office.

Everyday Stewardship – Recognize God in Your Ordinary Moments

What Is God Asking of You?

What are you willing to give for the sake of

the kingdom of God? Often, we begin a discussion

like this with a story or a few leading thoughts.

However, if we are to be serious about who we claim

to be as Christians, there should be no beating

around the bush. The question is not only important

for each of us and our relationship with our God, but

it should be important for the relationship each of us

has with the entire Body of Christ. Like any good

team or family, I need you to have my back, and I

need to have yours. If one of us is going to lay it on

the line and be all in for our faith, then we all need

to be as well.

If only all the Christians of the world felt the

same way. In some parts of the world, Christians are

still being martyred for their faith. Others must

worship underground and avoid the government-led

police. Then there are those who seem to take faith

for granted, and because little is asked by their

friends or parish, they give nothing. It is quite a

contrast of situations.

On this day, it may seem like little is being

asked of you and I by God. Is that because we aren’t

being asked or because we aren’t listening? If you are

counting on me and I am on you, we should figure

this out sooner than later. Of course, I suspect we

actually do know the answer, don’t we?

Dear IC Parishioner, family & friends,

Thanks to the many parishioners, family, friends and businesses who helped make the virtual 2020 IC

Festival a success, even in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. All 2,000 Prize Parade tickets sold out by

Wednesday afternoon. 500 chicken dinners and 400 pork dinners were sold out by Saturday afternoon. And,

with a few FB transmission glitches (sorry about that), all 33 Prize Parade winners were drawn by Saturday

evening (see the winner’s list below). This is great news for us at IC, and all the ways the IC Festival

benefits the school and parish!

We offer particular thanks to Jeff & Lisa Schott and Craig & Lindsey Lunz, co-chairs of the 2020 IC

Festival; the Prize Parade crew, the chicken and pork dinner crew, the K of C waffle crew, the Steering

Committee and all the other folks who worked so hard to pull together our virtual festival. Each year, the IC

Festival is an amazing endeavor of faith and trust that relies on countless volunteers putting in countless

hours to offer a memorable experience that not only raises valuable funds, but also nurtures and strengthens

our parish community. This year faith and trust were especially critical as we forged ahead in the midst of a

pandemic, discerning and balancing how best to proceed, while also ensuring the safety of all. Special thanks

for all those who shared extra faith and trust this year to make the festival a virtual reality.

We offer thanks to all the generous businesses which helped make our Prize Parade a success,

especially Bud’s Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep in Celina and Bud’s Chevrolet-Buick in St. Mary’s for the 2019 Buick

Encore, to Dr. James Schmit for providing the diamond and blue zircon rings, and to Francis Furniture for

the shopping spree and to the many other generous businesses and people listed below who have donated to

the raffle.

And, we offer our sincere thanks and ask God’s blessing upon all the ways you share your time, talent

and treasure with I.C. parish.
