Immaculate Conception Catholic Church Cranston, RI Mass Intentions Dear Parishioners,
We have entered the Season of Ordinary Time. The Seasons of Advent/Christmas and Lent/Easter highlight the central mysteries of our Faith, namely, the incarnation, death on the cross, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, and the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The Sundays and weeks of SUNDAY, JANUARY 20, 2019 Ordinary Time, on the other hand, take us through the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time life of Jesus. During this season we reflect on the ! st 4:00 PM (Sat.) John C. Alfano (1 Anniv.) teachings of Jesus, his call to conversion and growing ! Sandra Trombetti (Anniv.) by Sons ! into His image and likeness day by day. The color of 8:00 AM Jennifer Flynn Wilcox by Family the season is green which signifies hope, life and ! th 10:30 AM Joseph D’Ercole (4 Anniv.) growth. May this Ordinary Time be a time of by Wife and Family ! Anne Mursick (8 th Anniv.) extraordinary growth in your spiritual life! by Daughter Peggy ! Gerald Hines (Month’s Mind) I am pleased to announce that the Most Reverend by ICC St. Joseph Men’s Guild Robert C. Evans, Auxiliary Bishop of Providence, will ! Edmund & Gina Massari (Birth. Rem.) be celebrating Confirmation here on Thursday, May by Family 2nd at 7:00 PM. He will confer the seven gifts of the ! Dennis Massari (Birth. Rem.) Holy Spirit upon 45 young adults of our parish. All are by Family welcome to join this day of celebration for our 5:00 PM ! Geralyn Erickson (Rem.) Confirmandi and their families.
MONDAY, JANUARY 21, 2019 Additionally, First Communion will be held on Sunday, Saint Agnes, Virgin & Martyr April 28 th at 2:00 PM along with our annual May 12:00 PM ! Francis X. Pinheiro (Birthday Rem.) by Wife Crowning Ceremony. All are welcome to attend!
TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 2019 On a sad note, we mark this Tuesday, January 22 nd , the Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children 46 th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision which 8:00 AM Parishioners of IC legalized abortion in our nation. It’s estimated that 60 million children have been killed through abortion. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 2019 Just think about what we’ve lost: scientists, artists, Weekday teachers, mothers, fathers, priests, sisters, ! 12:00 PM Mary Scorpio by John & Gina entrepreneurs, world leaders, etc. So much possibility THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 2019 lost! How this destruction of innocent human life Saint Francis de Sales, Bishop and Doctor of the Church continues, I do not understand. Nevertheless, our 8:00 AM ! Andrew Martin by Barbara Gannon obligation continues to do all in our power to overturn this work of the Evil One which insults the Creator of FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 2019 all life. The Conversion of Saint Paul, Apostle 12:00 PM ! Jerry Gannon by Wife Barbara On Tuesday, January 22 nd , there will be a Pro-Life Rally in the RI State House Rotunda from 3:00pm to SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 2019 4:00pm sponsored by the RI State Right to Life Saint Timothy and Saint Titus, Bishops Committee ( www.rirtl.org ). All are welcome and 4:00 PM ! Paul & Henrietta Dodd (Birthday Rem.) by Family encouraged to attend and let our legislators and fellow citizens know that we are serious about protecting all SUNDAY, JANUARY 27, 2019 human life. This is NOT a Catholic issue—it is a Third Sunday in Ordinary Time human issue. The wrongness of abortion admits no 8:00 AM ! Roger Khoury (Rem.) exceptions. As Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta said so 10:30 AM ! Peter Pastore, Jr. (Birthday Rem.) simply, “If abortion is not wrong, then nothing is by the Pastore Family wrong.” Please, please pray for an end to abortion. A ! George & Helene Harwood Catholic true to his or her faith should do no less. by Daughter Maureen and Son-in-law Paul God bless you in the week ahead. ! Dennis T. Kehoe (Birth. & Anniv. Rem.) by Loving Wife Marie Fr. Wilson 5:00 PM ! Bishop Robert E. Mulvee (Mos. Mind) Second Sunday in Ordinary time January 20, 2019 Religious Education From the Desk of Mrs. Spaziante
