Welcome to Immaculate Conception Parish!
We are located on Harlem and Talcott, tucked away on the Northwest Side of Chicago.
We see it as one of our top priorities to offer good, reverent liturgies every single week. In order to do that, we value hospitality, well-prepared music, and homilies that come from a genuine place of prayer. Worshipping God is done by a people of prayer who love and respect one another, so we would love to have you join us this weekend at IC!
Below is our Weekend and Weekday Mass schedules, followed by an example of our Weekend music, along with some photographs of our Church.

Family Masses @ IC
Family Masses are designed for the whole family, but our emphasis this year will be on our adults. While children will participate in prominent roles such as lectors, gift-bearers, and servers, we recognize that faith is something that begins in the home.
Mothers and Fathers are the first teachers of the faith, so we hope that along with our family Masses, you also see yourselves--the parents--as the ones who establish what sort of faith your child will have.
Please join us on the dates below, whether your child falls into these specific categories (or not.) Have your child support their friends with their presence. A light reception is offered after each of our family Masses.
