Welcome to Immaculate Conception Parish, a Roman Catholic Church nestled in the beautiful mountains of Clarksburg, West Virginia. We hope that our website provides you with the information you need to nurture and support your faith here in the parish and beyond.
If you are new to the parish we extend a special welcome to you and pray that you will find a warm home here. Please introduce yourself after Mass or feel free to stop by the Parish Office located in the Parish Hall directly behind the Church.
We invite all our parishioners to join fully in our life at Immaculate Conception Parish. We serve the community through worship, outreach, education, social activities, sacramental preparation, and comfort to the sick and those who mourn. Feel free to contact us if we may be of service to you in any way.
Very Rev. Casey B. Mahone, VF, Pastor

Diocesan Pastoral Concerns Survey - Commissioned by Bishop Brennan, this is an extraordinary opportunity for all of us to provide input to the Bishop and Chancery staff as they prioritize future diocesan pastoral programs. This is a unique opportunity to provide your insights to the leadership of the Wheeling-Charleston diocese by completing this brief 7-10 minute survey. Surveys can be completed electronically online, or manually via a paper document. To access the online survey use this link https://dwc.org/pastoral-needs-survey/ Paper copies will be available at the church doors.

RCIA
Have you been worshipping with us, but never officially took the step to become Catholic? Have you been away from the Church and have now returned, but want to know more? Have you been a Catholic all your life, but never celebrated all the Sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Euharist, and Confirmation)? Have you joined us from a different faith background and would like to find out more about the Catholic Church? Do you know of anyone who has lapsed from the practice of their faith and would respond to an invitation to return to the Father's House?
If any of the above questions apply to you, we would love to help you on your journey of faith!! Or if you know of anyone who could answer YES to any of the above questions, we invite you to extend an invitation for them to join us.
Fr. Casey and Sr. Maria will begin the Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA) with an informal Gathering on Sunday, September 19th at 3:00 pm in the Parish Center.
