Maria Immacolata Catholic Church

MICS is creating a custom cookbook featuring favorite recipes from our students, parents, grandparents, church family and friends. These cookbooks will be professionally published and are sure to be a treasured keepsake for us all. Money raised will be used for operation of our school.

Please submit your favorite recipes so you can be represented in our cookbook. Many recipes from all members will ensure that our cookbook is a success. We are using Morris Press Cookbook’s website to easily submit recipes online. If you do not have Internet access, our committee can enter them for you. Submit hardcopies of your recipes to MIC school office or MIC church office.

We anticipate a great demand for our cookbooks, and we want to be certain to order enough. To insure your copies, send your pre-order in today! Cookbooks will be available for $15.00. Send your orders in along with your payment to the school, church or purchase online using Campus Pay found on our MICS website www.micsbluejays.org.

Please submit your recipes online by Tuesday, October 1, 2019 so we can meet our deadline. Cookbooks should arrive before the holidays!

UPDATE ON SAFE ENVIRONMENT TRAINING FOR ADULT VOLUNTEERS

 The Safe Environment Certificates for Adult volunteers in the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux will expire on June 30, 2018.  Volunteers who held certificates during the September 1, 2015 - June 30, 2018 dates can go to the website, http://safeandsacred-htdiocese.org, to renew their certificates beginning May 1, 2018.  The new certificates will be valid through June 30, 2021.  The Church office will also need a new Volunteer Ministry Application on file for every volunteer, even if a previous certification was obtained.  The application can be picked up from the Church Office or downloaded from our website, http://www.micchouma.org/Safe-Environment. The training lesson, titled “Protecting Children in the 21st Century”, has been updated from previous years.  Note that in-house training is no longer an option; everyone must take the online Safe Environment Training.  All volunteers must complete the Volunteer Ministry Application form and return it to the Church Office or to the supervisor of the ministry for which you are volunteering.

If this is your first time volunteering in the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux, after your references have been verified, you will be contacted by our office to go online and complete the online lesson.  The site will ask you to complete a Criminal Background Check, sign a Code of Conduct, and complete the lesson and quizzes.  You may go back to the site after a couple of days to print your certificate.  The Church Office will have access to the certificates for our files.  You must have a Safe Environment Certificate on file with the Church Office before you can work with any youth in any ministry in Maria Immacolata Church Parish.
