Donate Your Talents - Volunteer!

Last Update: 07.28.2018

Thank you so much for considering to volunteer. We appreciate any help you can give, even if it is just for an hour every once in a while, that may be all that is needed to keep a ministry going. Volunteering is also a great way to get to know other members of our parish family and develop life-long friendships.

 

Donate Your Photos!

We need Your Photos for Our 50th Anniversary Celebration!
The History Committee is asking for photos, commemorating your family events at Immaculate Conception Parish. Any photos from 1968 through the present of sacrament celebrations, programs, or special events. The Committee would like to fill the gathering hall with posters of memories from our past 50 years. Please send 3-5 photos, preferably 5” x 7”, to the parish office. Please limit it to 5 photos so many families can celebrate their past as well. Two things required on each photo: 1. Date of event (at least the year) and 2. What the celebration was. Optional: First names of the people in the photos.
NOTE: We are unable to return photos, so please send in photo prints of your originals. Also note that by submitting your photographs, you are granting Immaculate Conception Parish in Nashua, NH permission to use these photographs for the 50th Anniversary program as well as in the parish bulletin, website, or slideshow. We will not be using names nor is there a guarantee that all photos submitted will be used.
Submit your photos in an envelope to the parish office soon as the deadline to submit photos is Thursday, August 16. Thank you for your help!

Volunteers are the heart and soul of our parish. The success and very existence of so many of our programs are the direct result of the time and talent donated by our parishioners. Thank you to all our volunteers, most recently:
