Supporting Father Chumo

Our Parish Pastoral Council

For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.

– The Immaculate Conception Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) serves as an advisory body to the pastor on matters concerning the life and pastoral ministry of our parish.

– PPC focuses on the development and implementation of the mission, vision, proprieties and direction of our parish.​

– PPC members represent a demographic cross-section of our parish, actively engaged in multiple ministries and representative of the interests and perspectives of our parish members.​

– PPC meets regularly throughout September to June.

– Parish members are always welcome to sit in on our meetings, to contact our PPC representatives to share your ideas or concerns.​

– Announcements on upcoming PPC meetings and briefs from meetings appear regularly in the parish bulletin.​

If you are interested in serving on the Council, please contact Father Chumo.

The Hospitality Team

Enabling Commuity Building

Coordinator: Mary Edsall-Golway 

The Hospitality Committee organizes coffee hours, funeral luncheons, and food for special events. The bi-monthly coffee hours are often the highlight of people’s week, where parishioners come together after Sunday Mass as a community. We long for the days when we can gather once again post-pandemic! 

Thank you Mary! Thank you volunteers!
