Registration for Faith Formation/Youth Ministry
and Confirmation Programs for 2020-2021 School
Year
Traditionally we have opened online registration for students June 1st. With this
year’s unprecedented COVID-19 situation, we will postponing registration until we
obtain further directions from our Pastor Fr. Quang, and Bishop Barber. Because we
must also follow the directive of the county health department, we will wait until
procedures are firm to register our young people into programs. We thank you for
your cooperation and understanding.
Please watch the website and bulletin (available in the Church and online) for
updated information. We will post information as soon as we can.
Thank you,
Linda Kortuem, Director of Religious Education and Julie Figueroa, Director of Youth
Ministry
We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy as we shelter in place. Know that
Immaculate Heart of Mary Church is here for you. If you need anything please call 634-
4154 or email: LKortuem@ihmbrentwood.com and we can give your information to
the appropriate ministry for your needs.
We do not know when we will start Faith Formation back up. We will need to sanitize
the classrooms and hall including all furniture and cabinets etc. I have been sending
flocknotes to all Faith Formation families and see that some are not opening them.
Please review the flocknotes. If you are not getting the flocknotes please let me know
because I see your email is on the list of sending to. Deacon John and I hope you are
all doing well. Immaculate Heart of Mary pray for us.
It’s St. Vincent de Paul time again!
The collections to St. Vincent de Paul here at IHM helps
many. Some of the money you donate goes towards
purchasing food for our pantry and used to feed our
neighbors in need. However, a large part of your donation
is
used to assist our neighbors when there is a crisis, or an
unfortunate circumstance that prevents them from
making ends meet. Your generosity last year enabled us to:
-
Provide 3,095 visits to offer material and spiritual help to
neighbors in need
- Serve 14,876 people from our food pantry
- Distribute $158,390 in value of aid, including in-kind, throughout our community
Your donation may be sent to St. Vincent de Paul c/o IHM or delivered to the Parish
Office. It makes you a partner in the help we give to the less fortunate. Thanks
Partner, and God Bless you for your generosity.

Vacation Bible School
Due to the ongoing social distancing and shelter-in-place orders due to Covid-19, we
have decided to cancel Vacation Bible School for this summer. We are disappointed
that we will not be able to offer this fun activity this year, but hopefully we can return
next year when things improve.
