Growing up in Greenville, Texas, Bart Millard suffers physical and emotional abuse at the hands of his father, Arthur. When Arthur becomes terminally ill, he finds redemption by embracing his faith and rediscovering his love for his son. Years later, Bart's troubled childhood and mended relationship with his dad inspires him to write the hit song "I Can Only Imagine" as singer of the Christian band MercyMe.

 History of the Brown Scapular

In the year 1251, in the town of Aylesford in England, Our Lady appeared to St. Simon Stock, a Carmelite. She handed him a brown woolen scapular and said, “This shall be a privilege for you and all Carmelites, that anyone dying in this habit shall not suffer eternal fire.” In time, the Church extended this magnificent privilege to all the laity who are willing to be invested in the Brown Scapular of the Carmelites and who perpetually wear it.

Devotion
True devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary consists in three things: veneration, confidence and love. By simply wearing the Scapular, we can tell her every moment of the day that we venerate her, love her and trust in her protection. 

The Sabbatine Privilege
The Blessed Virgin of Mount Carmel has promised to save those who wear the scapular from the fires of hell; She will also shorten their stay in Purgatory if they should pass from this world still owing some debt of punishment.

We will participate in a recitation of the Rosary during the Holy Hour and have the blessing and investiture of the brown scapular. Scapulars will be provided.

Immaculate Conception Church is blessed with so many people who give generously of their time, talent and treasure. We could not fulfill our mission without dedicated volunteers like you. A good number of our parishioners are regular members of the various ministries, committees and councils of our parish. But there are also many of you who occasionally come and step up to the plate when needed. You too are our partners in ministry!
As a Parish Family we would like to invite all regular and occasional volunteers to join us as we celebrate our partners in ministry at the Volunteer Appreciation Dinner on Saturday, DATE TBA IN SEPTEMBER after the 5:00 PM Mass in Church Hall.
Personal and individual invitations, with RSVP cards will be sent in order to include everyone who in one way or another has offered to volunteer their time, talent and treasure in service to our church and whose identity is not known to us.
We need to know the number of those coming for preparation purposes. Please drop RSVP cards in collection basket or in the parish office on or before date TBA.
We assure everyone that we will have a great evening together.
Thank you very much.
POSTPONED UNTIL THE FALL - WITH AN OCTOBERFEST - DUE TO THE UNEXPECTED HVAC REPAIRS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION AND FOR ALL YOU DO FOR ICC!!!
