Flocknote
Sign up for Flocknote!
Flocknote introduces a smarter way for parishes to text message and email their members. As a Flocknote church, we will be able to reach all of you at a moment's notice, in your inboxes and via text message. There’s nothing for you
to download or pick up after church.
By organizing our church into different groups and ministries on Flocknote, we can get information to exactly who needs it at the right time! Plus, you will be able to reply directly to any email or text message you receive via
Flocknote, vote in polls, RSVP to events, and more! Interested?

Catholic Media Exchange October 26-27, 2019
Do you have Catholic books, CDs, DVDs, prayer cards, rosaries, or other devotional materials that you aren't using and would like to donate to our parish? If so, our upcoming Catholic Media Exchange is a great opportunity for you! Please drop off your items at the I.C. parish office before October 25. These items will be displayed on tables in the Grotto the following weekend for other parishioners to take home for free. So start your fall cleaning and “pay it forward” with your Catholic materials to help others grow in their faith and draw closer to Christ!
Thank you!
