ICA Work-Study Program
Immaculate Conception Academy, an all-girls, College Prep Catholic High School located in the Mission District in San Francisco has implemented a work-study program and is looking for organizations to sponsor their students. Currently, just to cite a few, the girls are working at companies such as GAP, Bank of the West, UCSF, Jones Day Law Firm, Heffernan Insurance Brokers, etc. Nationwide this program is already succeeding in 25 other cities coast to coast. A team of 4 students works at an organization to cover one full-time position, rotating work days.
The organization receives an entry-level, clerical staff position filled without the hassle of hiring, benefits and other HR concerns. The students are employees of the ICA Corporate Work Study Program. The organization’s sponsorship helps lower the tuition cost of their college preparatory education, making it
affordable for more working class families.
Operating as essentially a small, outsourcing staff agency, ICA enables the organization to fill needed clerical or entry-level positions. The students are on site 36 weeks a year, 40 hours a week adding diversity, enthusiasm and a willingness to learn and succeed. For more information please contact Sister Lilly at (415) 824 2052 ext 28 and/or visit ICA’s website at www.icacademy.org

August Feasts and Celebrations
August 8 – St. Dominic (1221) Journeying through France, Dominic was alarmed by the popularity of Albigensian heretics who threatened the Church. They rejected material comforts while many Catholic preachers traveled in luxury. Dominic became an itinerant preacher like the Apostles and founded the Order of Preachers, “Dominicans.”
August 10 – St. Lawrence (258) A Roman deacon to Pope St. Sixtus, II, Lawrence grieved when Sixtus was martyred but rejoiced when it was predicted that Lawrence would be martyred a few days later. Instead of giving in to Roman demands for the Church’s material treasure, Lawrence gathered the poor and destitute and presented them as the Church’s treasure. He was martyred shortly afterwards.
August 15 - Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Declared a dogma of our faith in 1950 by Pope Pius XII, the Assumption celebrates Mary being taken up into Heaven body and soul at the end of her life.
It is a Holy Day of Obligation requiring Mass attendance.
