July 2020 ended and August 2020 started in a sorrowful way as we lost some parishioners to covid19. This horrible virus has changed everyone's life and not better. Our prayers go out to all that lost a loved one to covid19 or in any circumstances . death leaves a empty space that is never filled . may we rest that our friends and loved one is in peace with our Lord July 24, 2020 If Covid19 isn't enough now hurricane Hanna is on her way. We are still trying to fix damage from Harvey and now a lot of rain and wind will be here tonight and tomorrow. A lot of people here in Taft have gotten the Covid19 virus. People are not wanting to wear the mask so it is spreading fast all over Texas. As we know with God leading us we will survive this. 2020 is going to go down in history as the year almost everything closed, people had to stay in their homes. For weeks no Masses were said live. Most churches did livestream Masses that people watched from home via You tube. Schools were not opened back up after spring break. The life that most of us knew no longer existed. Now we are the first part of May 2020 and Churches are allowed to open but only 25% capacity which for ICC was 65 people, Livestream continues and Dispensation from the Bishop is still in place. We are now planning our Confirmations for May 31,2020 here at ICC by Fr. John McKenzie. First Communion is waiting a date. As is our Graduation Mass. With God we shall get thru this hard time and remember it for years to come. Confirmation Mass will be 10:00 Our Graduation Mass is scheduled for July 5, 2020 at Immaculate Conception in Taft Texas 10am Mass we are now at 50% of capacity but have to start wearing face mask everywhere included Mass. This year is full of changes, but with Faith in God we will get thru this unusual time.
