Immaculate Heart of Mary
Parish and School

January 22 will commemorate the 48th anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision. Since that tragic day, millions of lives have been lost to abortion and the lives of millions of men and women have been shattered. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the annual March for Life will be virtual this year. Bishop Foys will offer a Mass from the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption on Friday, January 29 at 9 am. The Mass will be live-streamed www.covcathedral.com for the diocesan community.

Since the wide outage of Google services in December, our members are reporting that IHM email is being delivered to their Google Email spam box. We are working with Cincinnati Bell and Google to fix the issue. Please whitelist the ihm-ky.org domain in your Google email and create a filter that never sends IHM email to your spam box as a temporary work-around. As of 14 Jan, we believe this is fixed. Let us know!

Out technology support contractor has discovered that once again someone is spoofing our email domain and is sending thousands of emails using the non-existent email address of info@ihm-ky.org. The content of the email mentions a Chase account problem. Obviously, we are not doing that. Please be careful about emails you receive.

We are in need of Mass Intentions. Please contact the Parish Secretary to add your need or intention to our Mass Schedule.

Deacon Greg Kandra offers some insight as we end 2020 and look forward to 2021. Click on the title to read his latest offering in Our Sunday Visitor.

“In view of the gravity of the current pandemic and the lack of availability of alternative vaccines, the reasons to accept the new COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna are sufficiently serious to justify their use, despite their remote connection to morally compromised cell lines. “Receiving one of the COVID-19 vaccines ought to be understood as an act of charity toward the other members of our community. In this way, being vaccinated safely against COVID-19 should be considered an act of love of our neighbor and part of our moral responsibility for the common good.”

There is an email going around that mentions your PayPal account that looks like its coming from IHM. It is not. Again....do not click on links or a text message purported to be from IHM or an IHM staff member as the criminals are at it again. Call us to check on the validity before you're the victim.

Please read the attached letter from the diocese regarding our expected return to in-person instruction.
