2009 - Year of Grateful Discipleship
2010 - Year of Radical Discipleship
Dear Parishioners of Immaculate Conception,
When we are grateful disciples–we know that everything of value in our lives is a gift from God – all things become more manageable.
We have indeed much for which to be grateful. To know Christ and to follow Christ is our great privilege. To walk with Christ as we build our families and make our living and become citizens who contribute to society is our blessing. We are grateful disciples. And in our grateful faith our lives are indeed manageable. Even if they are also a bit challenging!
This parish guide is issued as a support for you, the parishioners who by God’s grace are making IC alive in Christ. Through this book you have a way to contact each other, to build the community life that we value so much, and to find ever new ways to work together for “building up the Body of Christ.” (Eph 4:5)
We consider it a wonderful blessing to have the opportunity to serve with you and with St. Helen Parish. And we surely consider it a great blessing to work alongside each other.
May Christ continue to nourish the gratitude in all of us, making us ever more radical in our commitment to lives of faith and generosity!
Many thanks for all the goodness, generosity and zest for life that you bring to our parish.
