This sacred image speaks of Immaculate Conception to the people of our parish dedicated to God through Mary for 150 years, even before this present church building was constructed.

Esta imagen sagrada habla de la Inmaculada Concepción a la gente de nuestra parroquia dedicada a Dios a través de Maria por 150 años, aun antes de que el edificio actual se hubiese construido.

A SAD FAREWELL


With praise and thanksgiving to
Almighty God,
I have accepted my new assignment from Associate Pastor of Immaculate Conception Parish, St. Wenceslaus Parish and Sacramental Priest to Hispanics in the area to pastor of the Cluster Parishes, St. Francis Xavier, Belmond, IA; St. John, Clarion, IA; Sacred Heart, Eagle Grove, IA; and Sacramental and Pastoral ministry to the area Hispanics. This assignment is effective July 8, 2008.

There will be a going away party following both Masses on June 14-15 for St. Wenceslaus Parish, and following 9:00 a.m. Mass June 22 for Immaculate Conception. Because the month of June is a busy one for me with other Archdiocesan responsibilities, these weekends will be the best for me to say goodbye to all of you who have become like a family to me. I thank everyone for your prayers and support during my assignment. To the best of my ability, I tried to serve you with love and dedication. You all were good teachers who prepared me for my new assignment as pastor and shepherd to the cluster parishes in the Webster City Deanery. I know this notice is early since my ministry continues until my last day here, July 8, 2008.

May the Risen Lord continue to bless our communities of faith!

In Christ,

Fr. Nils Hernandez

Associate Pastor

Una despedida triste

Con gratitud a Dios Padre, he aceptado mi nuevo nombramiento de ser Vicario de las
Parroquias Inmaculada Concepción, San Wenceslaus y Sacerdote Sacramental para los hispanos en el área a Párroco de las Parroquias San Francisco Xavier,
Belmond, IA; San Juan, Clarion, IA; Sagrado Corazón, Eagle Grove, IA; y cuidado Pastoral y Sacramental a los hispanos del área. Este nombramiento entra en efecto el 8 de julio de 2008.

Habrá una celebración después de la Misa Dominical el 22 de junio para nuestra comunidad hispana. Debido a que el mes de junio es un mes muy ocupado y además de tener otras responsabilidades a nivel Arqudiocesano, he escogido esta fecha como la mejor para poder celebrar como comunidad de fe. Celebramos todos los logros y avances que hemos tenido como comunidad de fe en nuestra
Parroquia Inmaculada Concepción. Agradezco a todos ustedes por sus oraciones y apoyo en todo mi tiempo
como Vicario en esta parroquia. Me han ensenado mucho y espero en Dios ser un buen párroco y pastor en mis nuevas parroquias en el Decanato de Webster City. Se que este anuncio es muy temprano ya que mis responsabilidades en esta comunidad termina el 8 de julio de 2008.
Que el Señor Resucitado continúe bendiciendo a nuestra comunidad de fe!

En Cristo.

Fr. Nils Hernández
