Yesterday, Today and Forever Campaign
June 2024 - May 2027
The church's 125th anniversary and the ongoing Eucharistic Revival are the inspiration for this campaign.
Campaign Vision
In this historic year, 2024, Immaculate Conception Church celebrates the 125th Jubilee of the dedication of our magnificent church! Going back to ancient biblical times, the Church has traditionally observed “jubilee years” (cf., Lv 25). A “jubilee” is a special time of God’s grace, peace, and favor. Our Gothic church was dedicated on June 1, 1899, and has been a stalwart monument to faith, hope, and love, as well as a secure shelter for those caught in the storms of life.
Among the many projects, we want to implement the US Bishops’ call for a Eucharistic Revival by building an architecturally appropriate and liturgically dignified back altar (reredos) for the Blessed Sacrament and move Jesus to the main apse of the church.
