Our Youth Minister, Sara Auciello has taken a new teaching position, so the Parish is looking to hire her replacement. See the Youth Ministry page for the job announcement.

The Mass is nothing short of amazing. Through it, we encounter God in the most intimate way possible as we hear him speak to us in the Liturgy of the Word and as we receive him Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Holy Eucharist. The words, the gestures, and the rituals of the Mass are rich in meaning. Everything we say and do in the Liturgy is steeped in biblical language. A Biblical Walk Through the Mass explores the extraordinary biblical roots of the Liturgy and reveals what it all means and why it all matters. This fascinating tour of the Mass will renew your faith and deepen your love for and devotion to the Holy Eucharist. Adult Faith Session begins at IHM on September 8 at 10:40 AM.

The current administration's budget proposal works to overturn the 45 year old Hyde Amendment which prohibits taxpayer funded abortions. Powerful members of Congress want to fund abortion through taxes. Clicking on the link Say No to Taxpayer Funded Abortion will direct you to the USCCB website where you can learn more and sign the petition.

As we continue our return to "normal", IHM will be hosting several welcome back events: Family Packets; Bring a Friend to Mass (Sep 18); old-fashioned Parish Sing-a-long evening of fun (Sep 18), and the major Welcome Back to Mass celebration (Oct 2) where we will build our "wall of remembrance". More details to come!

Since for all practical purposes almost all restrictions have been lifted by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) as well as by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, it is time that we as Catholics "get back to normal" and one again make Sunday Mass a regular part of our lives. Therefore, as of Saturday, June 12th I am lifting the dispensation from the obligation of attending Sunday Mass that was granted to all parishioners of the Diocese of Covington. Of course, those who are sick and/or unable to attend Mass for a truly legitimate reason, do not need a dispensation. We look forward to welcoming you back to the community of believers as we join together in praising and glorifying our Lord in the Eucharist. Be assured always of my prayers. Please, pray for me. Your devotedly in the Eucharistic Lord, Most Reverend Roger J. Foys, D.D. Bishop of Covington
