ANNOUNCEMENTS

Welcome to Immaculate Conception Parish Yuma, Arizona

“How marvelous it would be if,

at the end of

the day, each of us could say:

today I have performed an act of

charity towards others”

– Pope Francis

This week, Catholics across the Diocese are being asked to make a commitment to support the 2018 Annual Catholic Appeal. Ministries supported by the appeal have a direct impact on the administration and evangelization efforts at our Parish – and all Parishes, missions, and communities of our diocese. Your generous support and participation is critical to the success of the 2018 Annual Catholic Appeal. Help move us forward in hope as we seek to better embody the Gospel message in our lives.

“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as

good stewards of God’s varied grace” – 1 Peter 4:10

Thank you for your prayers, support and participation!
