Priests
visiting
To assist Fr. Manolo in ministering to our Parish, Immaculate Conception Church is fortunate enough to have many visiting priests who are able to celebrate Masses and minister sacraments.
Adorno Fathers
We are blessed to have the assistance of the priests of Adorno Fathers in celebrating our Masses.
The Adorno fathers are a religious Order of priests and brothers founded by Saint Francis Caracciolo, Venerable Augustine Adorno and Father Fabrizio Caracciolo in 1588. By solemnly professing the four vows of Poverty, Castity, Obedience and Not Seeking Ecclesiastical Dignities, they follow the example of Jesus Christ who Himself was poor, chaste, obedient and humble.
Don Bosco and the Salesians
We are also blessed to have the assistance of the Salesian fathers of Don Bosco Prep in celebrating our Masses.
The Salesians are a family of men and women founded in 1859 by an Italian Catholic priest, St. John Bosco, commonly referred to as "Don" Bosco.
Since then his society has been known as the Salesians of Don Bosco, whose mission is making each Salesian school, parish, youth center or other work a home where young people are welcome, a school where they learn important life lessons, a parish where they gather to grow in faith, and a playground where friendships are built.
