Immaculate Conception Parish offers Masses, Confessions, and times to meditate and pray the rosary in order to allow parishoners to exercise their First Friday and First Saturday devotions. Listed below are the acts that should be completed in order to complete each devotion.

First Fridays

To complete the First Friday devotions, one must recieve Holy Communion on the First Friday of nine consecutive months (must be in a state of grace during Holy Communion) and must make the devotion in honor and in reperation to His Sacred Heart.
To those who honor His Sacred Heart, the Lord has given twelve promises:
-I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life.
-I will give them peace in their families.
-I will console them in their troubles.
-I will be their refuge in life and especially in death.
-I will abundantly bless all their undertakings.
-Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy.
-Tepid souls shall become fervent.
-Fervent souls shall rise speedily to great perfection.
-I will bless those places wherein the image of My Sacred Heart shall be exposed and venerated.
-I will give to priests the power to touch the most hardened hearts.
-Persons who propagate this devotion shall have their names eternally written in My Heart.
-In the excess of the mercy of My Heart, I promise you that My all powerful love will grant to all those who will receive Communion on the First Fridays, for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance: they will not die in My displeasure, nor without receiving the sacraments; and My Heart will be their secure refuge in that last hour.

First Saturdays

First Saturdays in reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary include the following elements, performed with the intention of reperation for blasphemies against the Immaculate Heart for at least five consecutive months:
-Confession (shortly before or after the First Saturday - so long as the person recieves Holy Communion in a state of grace)
-Holy Communion recieved on the First Saturday of each month
-Holy Rosary, five decades recited sometime during the day

What does the Church teach regarding the morality of dances? In 1842 the Church published this book, The Church's Position on Dancing, available at Amazon. This book pre-dates the statements given by the Vatican in the last century on the topic of dances.

We add the following Vatican statement on this topic, published in 1916 in the official acts of the Holy See; the Acta, online, pp 147- 149: http://www.vatican.va/archive/aas/documents/AAS-08-1916- ocr.pdf. And the 1917 response to the U.S. Bishops who asked for a clarification; from the Acta of the Vatican, pg. 17: http://www.vatican.va/archive/aas/documents/AAS-10-1918-ocr.pdf.
