IMMACULATE CONCEPTION BULLETIN
April 27, 1997
FRIARS' MIND
This Sunday afternoon there will be an informational
reception for parishioners who are new to the parish since
we began the "I.C. Tomorrow" campaign last spring. If you
missed the receptions last year, or would like to learn more
about the status of our new parish center, you are also
invited. Just RSVP Nancy Radetic at 296-2954 or Connie
Henrion at 296-1291. Your suggestions and questions are
welcome.
As the weekly notice in the bulletin reminds us, our
campaign is going very well. We are approaching the half
millon mark in pledges fulfilled! We are ahead of schedule.
The building committee meets regularly with the architects
to update and fine tune the design.
It will be a while yet before the actual ground
breaking ceremony, but we have done much preliminary work
for that big occasion. We have had the property surveyed
and the test drilling of the ground will be done this
spring. So, in one sense, in more than just a symbolic way,
we have already broken ground.
Our thanks to all who have been so faithful in
fulfilling their pledges, to the many who have helped with
various fund raising efforts, and to all who continue to
work toward fulfilling our dream of a new parish center.
Thanks to all of you, we can now say with more confidence
than ever, "A New Parish Center is Coming!"

PRO-LIFE APRIL'S MOM
April's mom is a college student who came home on spring
break and came to Birthright to see if she was pregnant or
not. Breaking the news to her and her boyfriend was not
easy. The only positive thing is that she is carrying NEW
LIFE inside her. It is difficult for them to see how it
will all work out and they have not decided what to do.
Please pray that they have the courage to carry their
precious little one to term and then decide whether to keep
their baby or not. At that point at least someone will be
able to help this little one grow up to know, love and serve
the Lord.
