Announcements: + Holy Communion: One hour before weddings and funerals (please be kneeling at the Communion rail at that time) + “What Catholics Believe” has a new website of its own: WWW.WCBOHIO.COM – Please use this to access all programs, which now number more than700, with almost 1,990,000 views and more than 8,500 subscr ibers. Thanks for your support! + Catholics believe that the church is the House of Prayer and that the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle is the Real Presence of Jesus Christ, His body and blood, soul and divinity. Therefore, we rightly require that all who enter this church show great respect by the way they behave and the way they dress. + Traditional standards of dress require that ladies wear dresses, or full skirts and blouses. Hemlines must be long enough to touch the floor when kneeling, and to reach at least below the kneecap when standing or sitting. Necklines must be no more than two finger-widths below the collarbone. Slit skirts are not acceptable (a skirt is too tight if it needs to be slit to allow walk ing). Ladies are also required to wear a suitable head-covering while in church. Women wearing slacks, sleeveless dresses (including “capped” sleeves, which are not sleeves at all) or low necklines are not suitably dressed to receive Holy Com- munion. They should not even enter the church if their dress is immodest. + Gentlemen also must wear modest and decent clothing in church. Men must wear dress slacks and dress shirt, preferably with suit coat and tie. If their attire is immodest or indecent, they should not enter the church. + Flip-flops, shorts, sweats, and T-shirts are not acceptable attire in the church. The wearing of revealing, tight-fitting and trans parent garments of sheer material is forbidden. + Please do not come to receive Holy Communion at this church today if you do not meet these standards. Rather, please return more appropriately attired. Furthermore: Anyone who adheres to the erroneous teachings of Father Leonard Feeney and Saint Benedict Center (denying the Church’s teaching concerning “baptism of desire” and “baptism of blood”), or who worships at religious services conducted by any of the Thuc bishops and their clergy, must not receive Holy Communion at Immaculate Conception Church. Please discuss this with our priests. + No one may carry a firearm (CCW) at the church or school without written authorization signed by Fr. Jenkins. +Pray for Matthew Shawhan, Dave Windisch, Robert Gorey, James Ring, Rossana Fiore, Daniel Veitkus, Laura Veitkus, Stuart Field, Jonathan Sapp, Blaise Mueller, Jonah Wittman and Cash Herman. + The Banns of Matrimony are announced for the first time for Caleb Eilerman and Susanna Schappacher. + Confirmation testing has been postponed to a later date.

+ First Holy Communion day is now set for Saturday, May 23rd. Let us hope and pray that we can have both the First Communions and the proper celebration of the blessed event on that day! + Save the date for the young adult get-together in Cincinnati Wed., June 10, 2020 through Sun., June 14. For more information, contact Julianna Butler at nanaknew13@hot mail.com or 859-743-2057. + The men of The Holy Name Society invite men of Immaculate Conception to join them. Please contact Mr. Montesano. + Retreats at St. Thomas Aquinas Retreat Center: Ladies’ Retreat -5:00 PM June 17 through noon June 20; Men’s Retreat -5:00 PM June 24 through noon June 27. + The boys’ camp will take place Thursday, July 16 until July 26, and the girls camp will run from July 27 until August 2. Round Top retreats: Ladies’ retreat May 15-18 given by the Daughters of Mary. Call 518-622-9833. + Due to the on-going national emergency and the State of Ohio’s temporary health mandates, it is necessary for us to in- crease the number of Sunday Masses and to limit the number of those in attendance at each Mass. In order to register, please go to www.signupgenius.com. Search for Immaculate Conception Church.

+ Needed for First Friday-Saturday All-Night Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament: a gentleman is needed for the hour from 6:00 am to 7:00 am on Saturday morning. Please call Mrs. Lawson to inquire or to volunteer.

+Easter Duty: By Church precept, to be considered a practicing Catholic, one must receive Holy Communion worthily at least once during the Easter Season, which extends from Ash Wednes-day to Trinity Sunday.

Dominica in Albis — “Sunday in Whites” Moments after the baptismal water is poured, the newly baptized receive a white linen robe, while the priest prays, “Receive this white garment, which mayest thou bear without stain before the judgment seat of Our Lord Jesus Christ, that thou mayest have eternal life. Amen.” The most solemn days for administering the Sacrament of Baptism are the vigils of Easter and Pentecost. In the traditional Roman Rite of Mass, the Sunday after Easter is known by the title Dominica in Albis — the Sunday in Whites (or Sunday in White Garments), in commemoration of the occasion when those baptized during the Easter Vigil ceremonies of Ho-ly Saturday came to Mass on the first Sunday after Easter wearing the white robes they received at baptism. The white robe symbolizes purity of soul. As an outward, material symbol of inner sanctifying grace, it is a sign of the Resurrection and a pledge of everlasting life. "After this I saw a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and in sight of the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands …" (Apocalypse 7:9)

Regina Caeli

(To be prayed in place of “The Angelus” at 6:00 a.m., 12:00 noon and 6:00 p.m. each day) V. Queen of Heaven, rejoice! Alleluia! R. For He Whom thou didst deserve to bear. Alleluia! V. Hath risen as He said! Alleluia! R. Pray for us to God! Alleluia! V. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary! Alleluia! R. For the Lord is truly risen! Alleluia! Let us pray: O God, Who, through the resurrection of Thy Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, hath vouchsafed to give joy to the whole word, grant we beseech Thee, that through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, His mother, may attain to the joys of eternal life. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen!

Father Jenkins and Father Greenwell wish a Blessed Easter Season to all members and benefactors

of Immaculate Conception Church and Immaculate Conception Academy.

May God bless you all!
