3 Our Vision Statement Our parish is the vibrant expression of the presence of the Risen Christ through sacred worship and loving service. Our Mission Statement We live Jesus Christ by proclaiming the Gospel, by celebrating the Eucharist, by nourishing our faith, and by loving and serving all God s people. Spirituality of St. Francis de Sales To Live Jesus is to have the name of Jesus engraved on one s heart and to allow that name to become one s own true name, to allow one s entire self to be animated by Jesus. To allow Jesus to live, one does not simply learn about Jesus or pray to Jesus or even imitate Jesus; one surrenders one s heart to Jesus. What St. Paul says, I no longer live but Christ lives in me, is at the core of our distinctive Salesian Spirituality. Jesus was for the two early seventeenth century founders of the Salesian tradition (St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane de Chantal) a presence to be experienced and a reality to be lived. Authentic human existence was identified by them as a continual and ever-present bringing to life of the living Lord who bears the name of Jesus. Salesian Direction of Intention My God, I give you this day. I offer you now, all of the good I shall do and I promise to accept, for love of you, all the difficulty that I shall meet. Help me to conduct myself in a manner pleasing to you. Amen. Prayer of Discernment Dear Loving Lord, please be at my side when I am making decisions. Teach me to open my mind and to see with my heart. Help me, dear Lord, to discern the path even if it seems strange that will lead me to You. By F. k. Forbes mckenna Stewardship ministry Honoring Our Past - Building Our Future O good and caring Father, you guide and protect Immaculate Conception Parish, encouraging us always to Be who we are and be that well as a witness to the many good things you give us daily because your love for us is boundless. We ask for the intercession of your Blessed Mother whose joy is found in all that leads us to you, her beloved Son. Send down your blessing upon the Honoring Our Past - Building Our Future campaign that through these earthly efforts we may continue to Live Jesus honorably, worthily and humbly. We ask this through Christ Jesus our Lord, Amen Time Talent Treasure

4 From Our Pastor Dear Parishioners, I continue to share with you the gentle and inviting spirit of St. Francis de Sales, and all our Salesian patrons, to Live Jesus in our daily interactions with one another through lives that reflect the Salesian virtues of humility, gentleness, and compassion. St. Francis de Sales tells us that we truly give thanks and praise to God for the many blessings that He has bestowed on us and on our families when we generously share those blessings with others. Gratitude for gifts received leads us to lives of generosity in sharing our Time, Talent, and Treasure. We, at Immaculate Conception, manifest our discipleship in the many ways we work collaboratively and generously to build up the Body of Christ. This Stewardship Report provides you with a snapshot of our parish life during the past fiscal year with: 1. An overview of our demographics and sacramental life 2. The goals and objectives of our Councils and Commissions 3. A list of our many ministries in both the parish and the wider community 4. And finally, the annual financial report A part of the annual financial report contains an accounting of the progress to date of the Honoring our Past Building Our Future Campaign. In addition to raising about 82% of the campaign s goal of $1.5 million, this campaign has done much to build us up as a strong faith community that looks forward to an even brighter future. This challenge calls us to an even greater discipleship to evangelize one another. My prayer is that we will continue to be a community of faith whose members express their gratitude to God for gifts received by concretely and generously living out the principles of stewardship. St. Leonie Aviat, OSFS, Oblate sister of St. Francis de Sales, reminds us: Serve God and your dear neighbor well each day. When we forget ourselves for others, our lord thinks of us, and his grace does not fail us. In the spirit of St. Francis de Sales, Fr. John McGee, OSFS Pastor From Our Parish Pastoral Council Chair The Parish Pastoral Council at ICC has been very busy this past year. In order to continue to successfully aid our pastor in carrying our parish into the future, we worked with Commission Chairs and their ministries in determining their long term health and their progress in meeting their ministry goals. Additionally, we worked with a number of ministries in setting their goals for the year. As well, we continued to work with parish staff, leadership, and ministries to strengthen methods of communication so that the needs of our parish family might be more fully met. As we move forward as a true community of faith, with Christ at our center, the PPC remains committed to sharing our Time, Talent, and Treasure as a testament of thanks for the many good gifts with which our Lord has blessed each of us. Catherine of Siena stated very simply, Love does not stay idle. We thank each and every one of you for continuing the call to Live Jesus, by stepping forth, in faith, and with love, to share your Time, Talent, and Treasure in thanks to the One that unites us all. Michael Raspet chair, Parish Pastoral council July 1, 2014 June 30, Time Talent Treasure

10 Explanation of our Organizational Chart The role of the Parish Pastoral council is to assist the pastor and the staff with the long-range vision and planning at immaculate conception church. One tool the PPc uses for this is our Organizational chart. The structure of this chart encourages involvement and ensures that our stewardship efforts are successful. Immaculate Conception Church Organizational Chart is Christ-centered and based on a flat, professional model instead of a traditional top-down/pyramid model. We share our needs, hopes, and dreams with God. We rely on our relationship with Him to help us prioritize and make decisions. ICC is the heart of Christ. This emphasizes our Salesian Spirituality. We desire to Live Jesus. Six Commissions: Stewardship, Faith Formation, Liturgical, Inreach, Outreach, and Plant/Operations. Each Commission is led by a Chair and an Assistant Chair. 40+ ministries. Each ministry is led by a Coordinator and an Assistant Coordinator. Ministries are categorized within the appropriate Commission. Leadership terms last 2-3 years. A plan is in place for successful leadership transitions. Position descriptions in each ministry define the tasks involved and time needed. Each Council, Commission, and Ministry annually develops clearly defined goals and objectives so that we can grow, move forward with energy, and evaluate the effectiveness of our ministries. Commissions and all ministries are held in Jesus embrace. They also symbolize Jesus hands. It is through the vibrant actions of our ministries that we reaffirm our commitment to stewardship and give evidence of our desire to Live Jesus. Group of connected circles include the Pastor, Staff, Parish Pastoral Council (PPC), Parish Finance Council (PFC), and Parish Leadership Team (PLT). The PLT includes the Pastor, Staff, the Chairs of our Pastoral and Finance Councils, and the Chairs of each of our six Commissions. This team meets regularly to share information, problem solve, and provide assistance and support to all of our parish ministries.

22 Designated Memorial Donations Some of the improvements to our facilities buildings, grounds, furnishings, and other needs have been provided through designated donations that are not part of the operating revenues. With such donations, parishioners may direct their contributions to be utilized for a specific purpose(s) or for discretionary purposes in accordance with parish needs. In all cases, utilization must conform to the applicable parish planning guidelines. During the fiscal year, $19,640 was donated to the Memorial Fund. We have been able to purchase the following items and fund the following projects: Blessed Mary Statue (Prayer Garden) Chasubles Coffee pumpers Corporals Crucifix landscaping Eagle Scout project pavers for center island Eagle Scout project recognition plaques Paschal Candle Planters (Eagle Scout project) Purificators Worship space bose subwoofer These donations and gifts have enabled us to do these things without impact on the parish s operating budget, i.e., no contributions received from the first Offertory were used. We thank all those who made these special donations. We are also thankful for the attitude of gratefulness exemplified by so many of the parishioners of our parish. For their love of God and God s church, they have also bestowed many gifts of their Time and Talent upon our parish. Building and Capital Improvement Fund The Building and Capital Improvement Fund was established for the purpose of providing for the maintenance and upgrading of our present facilities. With the passage of time, our buildings, equipment, and furnishings require more than routine maintenance. The necessity of more extensive repairs, refurbishing, and replacement of these items has significantly increased the level of these expenditures. Following is the activity in the fund during the fiscal year July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015: Beginning Balance July 1, 2014 $15,349 Increases: Available Offertory 5,000 Interest Income 231 Total Increases + $5,231 Subtotal = Reductions: - $5,540 Installation of Internet Access Points Upgrade DeSales Faith Formation Center security system Upgrade Priest Residence security system Upgrade Parish website Developed Parish mobile app Maintain Priest Residence Ending Balance June 30, 2015 $15,040 In the near future, we will need to replace more of our 17 heating and air conditioning units, and the roofs of the worship area & office wing, the De Sales Faith Formation Center, and the Residence.

23 Honoring Our Past ~ Building Our Future 4-year Campaign We, as a faith community, are committed to raising a minimum of $1,500,000 to retire our entire parish debt, establish a Growth and Development Fund, and to do our part to support the new Diocesan Cathedral and the 2012 Bishop s Annual Appeal (BAA). Our debt, approximately $1,540,000, was incurred when building our De Sales Faith Formation Center and Parish Office Extension. In 2002, we broke ground for these wonderful facilities, which we utilize daily. Our De Sales Faith Formation Center has made many activities and functions possible for our parish family. Along with our worship space and parish offices, it has become an important part of our parish life.
