Bishop Keane Institute @ Immaculate Conception Parish

Leon,

Can you please put a link to this webpage on our site?  I have provided some commentary for the link.

Father Sean Prince, Pastor of Immaculate Conception Parish in Hampton, (our very own Sean Prince!) has reinitiated a Catholic speaker program in the parish.  This is a link to some of the speakers coming to the parish over the rest of this year.  This had been a recognized program in the past and Father Sean is looking to make it one again, where Catholics can come and gather and be nourished by Catholic speakers.

Of note, as you look at the schedule, Father Robert Barron is coming in August, as is Father James Martin in November.  Questions please email Frank at fxdevenoge@gmail.com

Thanks!

Annual Saints and Sinners Spring into Summer Dinner, This Thursday, June 11th 5:00 pm

Gentlemen, 

The S&S event is THIS Thursday evening (please see John's message below for details). For our dress, as it is a casual event with an "All American Picnic" theme, may I suggest we wear a khaki pants - polo shirt combo, incorporating some red, white, and/or blue elements. Ralph Lauren, move over! 

See you Thursday evening gents, thanks!

Hello Gentlemen of St. Bridget!

Can you believe another year has gone by?  Boy time flies!

The Saints and Sinners are looking forward to their annual “Spring Into Summer” Dinner.  They would be very pleased if the Gentlemen of St. Bridget would once again grace them with their presence with the gift of their choral talents!    

The dinner is on Thursday, June 11th from 5 to 8.  Cocktail hour is at 5, and dinner at 6. 

The Saints and Sinners have chosen a theme that should be fun: the Great American Picnic!  Dinner will likely be grilled hamburgers and hot dogs with related sides ‘n fix’ns!  And, Apple Pie and ice cream for dessert!  Yum! 

Musical selections by Allen will complement this theme and should be fun!

Will you as a Gentleman of St. Bridget join the Saints and Sinners again?  I will be supplying some Great American Beers to help the Great Gentlemen of St. Bridgets to be appropriately hydrated!   Spouses are encouraged to join in on the fun!

Please reply back to me at jkmcculla@comcast.net . 

Thank you all!  I look forward to hearing back!

 Best,

 John
