Fr. Ronald J. Minner was named Pastor of The Immaculate
Conception Parish on June 15, 2021.
July 1, 2020, the two Catholic congregations in Jim
Thorpe came together as one when St. Joseph Parish was
consolidated into Immaculate Conception Parish. Both church
buildings will remain open and will use the existing Mass schedule.
Father James Ward, will remain as pastor. Operating the two parishes
as one will benefit the newly combined congregation by providing the
parish with the potential for reduced operating costs and more
efficient operations through better use of resources. The
consolidation recommendation of Father Ward was reviewed by the
Diocesan Council of Priests and the Diocesan Pastoral Planning
Commission, which likewise recommended the action to Bishop Alfred
Schlert.
Immaculate Conception Parish was founded in 1848 to serve the needs
of God’s people in this beautiful area. We are a vibrant parish
family, grateful to God. We do today- what we have been doing for
over 150 years-we welcome into our family all who come to us. We
proclaim the love and the mercy and the concern of our God for all
people. We provide a parish community in which people can come
together to worship and love their God and to find a fellowship with
each other that is truly warm and inviting. We delight in passing on
our precious Faith to our children who are the future.
Mary Immaculate Patroness of Our Country
Pray for Us
O GOD OUR CREATOR,
from your provident hand we have
received our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness.
You have called us as your people and given us the
right and the duty to worship you,
the only true God, and your
Son, Jesus Christ.
Through the power and working of your Holy
Spirit,
you call us to live out our faith in the midst of the
world,
bringing the light and the saving truth of the Gospel to
every corner of society.
We ask you to bless us in our vigilance
for the gift of religious liberty.
Give us the strength of mind
and heart to readily defend our freedoms when they are
threatened;
give us courage in making our voices heard on behalf
of the rights of your Church
and the freedom of conscience of
all people of faith.
Grant, we pray, O heavenly Father, a clear
and united voice to all your sons and daughters
gathered in your
Church in this decisive hour in the history of our nation,
so
that, with every trial withstood and every danger overcome—
for
the sake of our children, our grandchildren, and all who come
after us—
this great land will always be “one nation, under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
We ask this
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
