Welcome to June, the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus! As I reflect on the Heart of Christ, I am drawn back to last weekend, when a group of us went to the Ordination Mass in Lafayette. What a joy it was to see two men give their lives completely to God and His Church, wrapped in His Heart, making It more available to all of us. Their ordination made me reflect on how beautiful God's plans are; even when He makes us wait or brings us through trials, He always brings us to good things beyond our dreams. Dcn. Jacob Miller and Fr. Jason Diebolt are one step further on their journeys with our Lord. We pray for both of them as they continue their ministries in our diocese!
P.S. Dcn. Jacob will preach at St. Alphonsus this weekend at the 8am and 10:30am Masses!
Our group is growing, praise God! I cannot describe adequately how wonderful these people are, individually and together. Faithful, fun, and sharing life together as we help each other draw closer to the Sacred Heart.
We've had a great 2025 so far, but this year is only half over, and we would love to have YOU here, too! This summer is going to be great. Hope to see you soon!
Check out our young adult + young family gatherings every Wednesday evening at St. Alphonsus! Young children are welcome!
We have been meeting mostly at St. Alphonsus for dinner, but we're venturing out to Theology on Tap again this summer on 5 nights.
Here are the topics and activities we have coming up:
- June 11th - Theology on Tap at McGowan Hall with Indy Catholic*
- June 18th - p3 at SAL: The Church's Teachings on Slavery
- June 25th - Theology on Tap at McGowan Hall with Indy Catholic*
*For Theology on Tap nights, our schedule runs a bit differently. See June 11th info below.
Registration is open for our next Mass and swing dance! It falls on the first day of summer; celebrate the Light of the World on the longest day of the year with us! We'll have games in the Mary Garden, weather permitting.
Any young adults (and spouses who may fall outside of "young adult") are invited to come, so bring your friends!
We offer babysitting stipends ($30 per family) for parents who would like to spend some quality time together. Contact Emily (emeiner@zionsvillecatholic.com) for details.
Volunteers' ticket fees are waived!
Join us for our second karaoke night! Dinner and two drink tickets included. Register and submit your songs to be added to the queue at the link below. Come sing with us! We are working on having Mass said beforehand at 6pm - stay tuned!
All are invited to watch and discuss Season 5 of The Chosen with us this summer! No RSVP required, but contact me if you have questions.
This is a simple but moving retreat, where we reflect on our own lives and hear others' stories, ultimately leading us closer to Christ and inspiring us to bring Him to others. Click above to see more details and register! It is happening between the 8am and 5pm Masses that day, so you can still get to Sunday Mass :)
Struggling to find time to get to confession and some quiet time with Christ? Let's help each other! We will turn the Reception Room into a playroom and take turns going to Confession and Adoration and watching the kids.
Parents and guardians watching the kids need to be Safe & Sacred Trained. For more information about training, click below.
