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 1:15 p.m. on second Sundays of

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

Activity Center. Baptisms are at 1:15 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.

COUNSELING SERVICES: Offered by Bob Skipper at

Spiritual Center of Maria Stein 1-937-299-9005.

Immaculate

Conception

Church

THE NATIVITY OF SAINT JOHN THE BAPTIST, JUNE 24, 2018

July 1st is the Feast of the Precious Blood.

On this feast, we celebrate anniversaries of the

Precious Blood priests and brothers and renew our

calling as Missionaries of the Precious Blood. The

Feast of the Precious Blood is not only a celebration

for us as missionaries, but also for the parish

families where we serve. Our community has been

serving Immaculate Conception since the beginning

in 1863 with the first mass celebrated with Fr.

Bernard Dickman, C.PP.S. This makes us all part

of the Precious Blood family. To help us celebrate

our heritage in the Blood of Christ, the prayers and

readings for masses June 30th and July 1st will be

from the Proper of Masses for the Precious Blood

approved by the Holy See. We are grateful for the

opportunity to serve at Immaculate Conception. We

ask your prayers for our C.PP.S. members serving

locally and throughout the world. May God

continue to bless the C.PP.S. with many more

members who will dedicate their lives to

proclaiming the saving power of Jesus’ precious

blood to all people.

Lay Catholic Studies

The Athenaeum of Ohio Lay Pastoral

Ministry Program is sponsored by the Archdiocese

of Cincinnati and offers lay Catholics the

opportunity to grow in faith, knowledge and skills

in order to serve families, communities and the

Church more effectively. Since 1975, the LPMP has

equipped ordinary Catholics to accomplish

extraordinary things in the name of Christ.

Saturday morning and afternoon classes fit into

busy adult schedules, allowing participants to

maintain job, family and community commitments

while answering a call to deeper discipleship.

Classes count toward catechist certification and

serve as a prerequisite for application to the

permanent diaconate formation. Interviews are now

underway for fall classes at Sacred Heart of Jesus

in McCartyville. We are offering a 25% lay tuition

discount this year. Call Deacon Hal Belcher at 419-

305-5486 for information or to set up an interview.

Legacies and bequests help continue the

faith. Please remember Immaculate Conception

Parish in your will and expressions of sympathy.
