Immaculate Conception Church 

On Friday, December 7th we celebrated the 90th anniversary of the establishment of Immaculate Conception here in Taft.  Our bishop, Most Rev. Michael Mulvey celebrated the Vigil Mass of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception and joined us at the catered dinner afterwards.  It was an evening of great joy for all of us together to recall all the blessings and graces that God has poured on this community over the years.  Thinking about all those whose faith built up this part of God's kingdom is a true gift.  To realize that we inherited the faith we live today and that we are responsible to continue their work of building the kingdom of God as we pass it on to our children and grandchildren is a great gift and responsibility.  However, we are not alone on this journey of faith; God accompanies us and guides us in both living the faith and in passing it on.  Do not grow weary by the task for "God has made us worthy to be in his presence and to serve him."  Together we go forward to accounce the gospel of the Lord.

In Peace,
Fr. Pete
