Where do you start? How do you homeschool? What does it look like for the whole family when you decide to homeschool? Did you know we have many families here at IHM who homeschool? We would like help you by answering questions and providing a supportive listening ear. We understand many families today are considering the best way to educate their children and for many families, homeschooling can be a wonderful option. Even for those doing online education, a homeschooling community can help with support and encouragement. For more information and to be connected with a member of our IHM Homeschoolers please phone 925-634-4154 ext 107 or: ihmyouthbrentwood@gmail.comTHANK YOU
Thank you for those parishioners who have used the SmileAmazon.com so that the Amazon Smile Foundation can donate .5% of the price of eligible purchases. IHM received $163.07 donation for activity between April 1 and June 30, 2020.Spirituality of The Lord of the Rings
In early 2021, we are going to offer a class on the Spirituality of The Lord of the Rings, the classic work of JRR Tolkien. In 1999, readers named it one of the best books of the millennium. The BBC named it one of the most inspiring books ever written! If it’s been a while since you read it, dust it off and dig in. If you have never read it, get it and get ready for an adventure! The class will be based on the book not the films. More information will be coming, so start reading and keep an eye on the bulletin!St. Vincent de Paul continues to serve the poor
The mission of all St. Vincent de Paul Conferences is to serve the poor and Immaculate Heart of Mary continues to do just that. With Covid-19 restrictions, we now have our Food Pantry as a Drive Through, which has some challenges, but does provide food for many families in our area. The help from IHM Youth Food Drives, grants from the City of Brentwood and monetary donations from parishioners we can give even more food than before to the families who come to us for help. As usual, we offer other support to families in need, and recently have seen even more requests. We have gotten creative in contacting those we serve while still following guidelines, but we get the job done. We have helped more families during this pandemic, than in the past. Are you recently retired and looking for ways to fill up your day? Have you always wanted to do something to serve the poor, but just haven’t found a way to start? IHM St. Vincent de Paul might be the answer. We particularly need people who can help with jobs such as picking up food from the Food Bank twice a week, which does include some lifting. We are here to help, but always need more workers to share the load. For more information call: Dale Masino 925-308-4710 or Joyce Ohanesian 925- 513-7124.Are you new to Immaculate Heart of Mary?

We also LOVE new parishioners and hold quarterly “Welcoming Gathering” specifically those new to IHM. See our bulletin for details on the date for the next upcoming gathering.
