Adult Enrichment
Adult Catholics have many chances to grow in their faith through a variety of learning opportunities at Immaculate Heart of Mary. Classes, discussions, and videos are offered on Scripture, Social Justice, Church History, Salesian Spirituality and other topics. We invite you to find one that fits your schedule, by reading our weekly parish bulletin, navigating this website, or calling the Parish Office.
Scripture Sharing
On Thursday, December 5, Scripture Sharing will begin after 9:00 AM Mass. Each week we will read the scriptures that will be proclaimed at the weekend liturgies. One does not have to be a scripture scholar but just have a desire to read and hear God’s word prayerfully and see what God is trying to tell us personally and as a community.
We will meet in the Parlor and begin after morning Mass. We will finish by 11:00 AM. For questions, contact Deacon Wally at [email protected].

Evening Bible Study
Coming in January a Bible Study on the Gospel of Luke. Luke is the Gospel that will be read at Sunday Mass for the next liturgical year. Luke was well-educated, a physician by profession. He was a disciple of St. Paul, and his writing reflects several themes from St. Paul including; a focus on God’s mercy, salvation history and redemption of the Gentiles, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the call of the disciples to continue the work of Jesus Christ.

Children’s Liturgy of the Word
We will be starting Children’s Liturgy of the Word after the first of the year. It will take place at the Sunday 9:30 AM Mass. There will be two groups; Kindergarten through 2nd grade will be one group and third and fourth grade will be the second group. The children will be dismissed after the opening prayer to have a prayer experience featuring the Sunday readings. It will be the same readings as the congregation hears but, in more age-related language. The children are returned to the Church at the Offertory with a better understanding of the readings and are eager to share what they learned with their family.
Like everything in the Parish, we need volunteers for this important ministry. We need two adults for each group. All materials are provided and there are handouts featuring the Scripture readings for each Sunday. Before Covid we had enough volunteers so that each one only had to serve once a month. Let’s work toward that again.
Please consider helping our young children to learn more about scripture and how it guides our lives. We cannot do it without your help.
