Festival of Ministries

The annual Festival of Ministries is a time to celebrate what we do in our parish by showcasing in a fun way the multitude of organizations we have here at Incarnate Word. We also use this opportunity to reach out and invite new volunteers to join our organizations. After every Mass on the weekend of September 18/19 in the Kent Center, there will be tables set up representing each of our parish ministries. There will be fall decorations, giveaways, and food & drink to encourage an autumn festival atmosphere. Please come after Mass and join us!

Coffee & Corapi

Catholics don’t have as many mega preachers as evangelical Christians do, but one of them is the Rev.
John Corapi. He went from a successful businessman in Las Vegas and Hollywood to drug addicted and
homeless, to religious life and ordination to the priesthood by Pope John Paul II, to a life as a
preacher of the Gospel who has reached millions with the simple message that God’s Name is Mercy! Join us on Sunday mornings from 8:45am-10:15am in the Multi-Purpose Room as we listen to four of his one hour talks together. The four sessions run from Sept. 19-Oct. 10.
