This Sunday we welcome two newly-named monsignors of our Archdiocese to Immaculate Conception Church for the June celebration of our 150th Jubilee Year! Monsignor Charles McGlinn, a native son of Immaculate Conception Parish, will be with us to preside and preach at our 10:30a.m. Mass. Currently the pastor of Cure of Ars Parish in Leawood, KS, Msgr. McGlinn is also the Vicar General of the Archdiocese. We also welcome Monsignor Michael Mullen, current pastor of St. Patrick's Parish in Kansas City, KS. Msgr. Mullen was the Associate Pastor at Immaculate Conception under Msgr. Alexander Harvey from August 1962 to September 1964. He was our parish priest at the time of the dedication of the present church on May 31, 1964.

Msgr. Mullen visited us this past December 30, as we commemorated the burning of the Old Cathedral with a PowerPoint slide show of the Old Cathedral and its destruction. Msgr. McGlinn was at our January Jubilee event as part of the Vocation Panel of Parish Vocations, addressing our 4th-12th grade students from Xavier Elementary and Immaculata High School.

Following the 10:30a.m. Eucharist with Msgr. Charles McGlinn, are all invited to join us for a parish "picnic luncheon" in Miege Hall immediately after the Mass. Then at 1:00p.m., we encourage those at the lunch and those who attended other Masses during the weekend, to join us in the church for a presentation by Msgr. Michael Mullen. Msgr. Mullen will share with us the ideas of Msgr. Alexander Harvey in the construction of our present and the Vatican II style of its design. The transition from the grand Romanesque Old Cathedral to the simplicity of our present modern church was a major one! Come hear about the decisions made during the time of the Second Vatican Council, which led to its construction! Also, the placement of a parish time capsule originally planned for this Sunday has been delayed until after the completion of the Jubilee Year in August.

Our 150th Jubilee Rosaries will be on sale at all our Masses at St. Joseph and Immaculate Conception this weekend. These commemorative rosaries will make a great Father's Day present! We will also be selling raffle tickets this weekend for our upcoming St. Joseph Parish Germanfest to be held on June 25.

Next weekend, June 18-19, we will be having elections for three Parish Council members to replace outgoing members, Craig Chmidling, Ann Christoffersen, and Georgia Scanlon. The six parishioners nominated on May 29 and agreeing to stand for election are: Theresa Holt, Patty Oatney, Sue Peterson, Sharon Scanlon, Jane Stucker, and Mary Wheaton. Please read the brief biographies of our candidates in the flyer in today's bulletin (see our online news section), and vote for three candidates of your choice next weekend. Any registered parishioner who has been confirmed is eligible to vote.

God Bless you always!
