DEDICATION OF THE CARLO ACUTIS ROOM (OLD ROOM 104)

We are excited to announce that Room 104 has been completely remodeled and was officially rededicated as the Carlo Acutis Room on October 12, 2026 by Fr. Alex Clark.

Who was Carlo Acutis?
Known as the "millennial saint," Blessed Carlo Acutis was a tech-savvy teenager who used his computer programming skills to serve the Church. His greatest contribution was creating a global website and a portable exhibition cataloging 187 Eucharistic miracles from around the world. Carlo sought to use technology to share the reality of the Real Presence, famously stating, “The Eucharist is the highway to heaven.” Though he passed away from leukemia in 2006 at just 15 years old, his legacy remains a powerful testament to holiness in the digital age.

We invite you to visit the newly renovated room and be inspired by his mission to bring youth and technology closer to Christ.

Lake Edge Middle School Ministry will begin in October and has fun nights planned for the year at Our Lady of Mount Carmel. There will be large group teachings, small group teachings, prayer, and fellowship. We hope you will join us and experience what the group has to offer to our youth! This year’s theme is “Love of Neighbor,” helping our students grow in their relationship with Christ and learn how to live that faith in their friendships, families, schools, and communities. Our message to the kids is simple: Different Parishes. One Church. One Mission. Faith isn’t just knowing about Jesus. It’s knowing Him

Introducing Kinderchoir at Immaculate Conception!

There is something very special about hearing the voices of children singing at Mass! This fall, we are excited to introduce Kinderchoir, a new music ministry designed especially for children ages 4–10.

Kinderchoir offers our youngest parishioners an opportunity to share their voices, experience the joy of making music together, and take an active part in the liturgical life of our parish.

What makes Kinderchoir different from a traditional children’s choir? There are no weekly rehearsals!Instead, Kinderchoir is designed around the natural way young children learn—by listening, imitating, and singing along.

Families receive a recording of the current song by email and simply play it regularly at home. Children can listen and sing along in the car, while playing, before dinner, at bath time, or whenever it fits naturally into family life. There is no pressure, and children do not need to know how to read music.

Approximately every five to six weeks, Kinderchoir will sing one song at an

11:00 a.m. Sunday Mass, often as a Communion reflection. On Kinderchoir Sundays, children will meet in the choir loft at 10:30 a.m. for a short rehearsal before Mass. They may then sit with their families during Mass and come to the choir loft at Communion to sing.

No previous musical experience is necessary. Children simply need a willingness to sing and have fun!

Kinderchoir is a wonderful way for children to discover that their voices—and their participation—are an important part of our parish community.

If your child loves to sing, we would love to have them be part of Immaculate Conception’s very first Kinderchoir!
