Immaculate Conception Parish Hall (St. Louis Hall)

Food and drink will be served!

Join us on Thursdays at IC for a beautiful 7-part video series from Paradisus Dei on the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary. Each episode takes us to beautiful pilgrimage sites throughout Europe (Rome, Lourdes, Fatima etc). We will be taken on a spiritual journey to meditate more fully on these powerful mysteries of our faith: Jesus' Resurrection, Ascension, Sending of the Spirit, Assumption and Coronation of Mary.

Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA)

For those adults desiring to receive the sacraments and enter the Church, we are always welcoming new inquirers! This process is educational, but not just academically so. Becoming a Catholic Christian is not just a matter of learning doctrines and consenting to them intellectually. It is about encountering and entering into life in Jesus Christ and His Body, the Church. It is about embarking on a new way of life, taking on a new perspective (an eternal one!), learning to pray, how we read Scripture, how we serve the poor and our neighbor, and becoming an integrated member of the community, the family of God.

All parishioners are always welcome to attend OCIA sessions. This is a great way to be formed more in our faith, a faith we learned about as children. We also encourage parishioners to serve on the OCIA team in some capacity (hospitality, as teacher, mentor, prayer partner etc).

Most sessions occur on Sunday mornings after the 9:00 AM Mass at IC in Newburyport, but our team is flexible and can accommodate schedules during the week. 

If you are interested in becoming Catholic or want to be involved in the process, please reach out to Aaron Giard, Director of Lifelong Faith Formation, at agiard@hriccatholic.org or call (978) 462-2724 x405.


 
Do you ever feel like there must be something more than your day-to-day routine? Are you seeking a way to connect to other faith-centered women in the midst of a busy work, social or parenting life? Or maybe you’re just searching for a new way to regularly meet and connect with Jesus. 
 
Welcome to a community full of women just like you.
 
We invite all women to come join us at any time, no matter where you may be in your relationship with God and your faith journey. The group meets Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. in person at the IC Parish Center and virtually on Zoom. If you have any questions, or would like to join via Zoom, please email HRICWomenAtTheWell@gmail.com.
