How to Pray
Learn About Ignatian Imaginative Prayer
Whether you’ve been praying for decades or are just getting started, come learn, practice and pray with our parish community. Join us in person as we dive into the different ways the Church has been praying for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
Monthly through November, we will learn about a different form of prayer and practice it together. This month, we’re exploring Ignatian Imaginative Prayer. Choose from sessions held on July 26 at 9:30am in Parish Hall or July 30 at 6:30pm in Weitzel Hall.

Parish Giving
Living Generously Challenge
Do something to make someone’s day. You don’t need me to tell you what to do here. The creative genius of generosity is alive and well within you. Seek its counsel and then act accordingly.

Volunteers Needed:
Youth Catechists & Mentors
As our Prayer of St. Francis (which we are praying after Mass) says: "It is through giving that we receive..."
An area our parish could really use help is working with youth in our religious education (PreK-4th), middle school and high school programs.
If you want to make a difference in the lives of youth, this is a wonderful way to do it by helping shape their love of the faith in these formative years.
Plus, catechists get a free paid subscription to Hallow, the #1 prayer app, through our parish partnership!

Become a Scheduled Adorer and
Help Us Reach 24/7 Adoration
We need regularly scheduled adorers to be present with Jesus in the Eucharist in order to keep our Adoration Chapel open and move toward 24/7 adoration by
Nov. 29, a top priority for Fr. Travis.
What time can YOU personally commit to adoration weekly or monthly for a half-hour or hour? It will mean so much to our parish, as we have seen so many fruits from adoration. Requesting a sub is easy if you can't make it! Simply text SUB to 317-732-5777.
"There is no better way for us to encounter Christ than in the Mass and in Eucharistic Adoration." - Fr. Travis
