Holy Banter Podcast: Mat Lageman
A former Hollywood actor, voice performer, comedian, recovering alcoholic, devoted father and the man behind the most memorable photo in our parish directory, Mat Lageman's life has been full of
unexpected twists.
These include performing with Second City, working in Los Angeles and voicing a character in a horror movie. But when God called him away from the spotlight and into a completely different role, Mat discovered a deeper purpose than he ever imagined.

New Adoration Hours Open!
Schedule a Time for 24/7 Adoration Starting Nov. 29
We recently opened new overnight hours, which will begin Nov. 29, for scheduling so that we can reach 24/7 adoration, a top priority for Fr. Travis. We need committed adorers to be present with Jesus in the Eucharist to help us reach this goal.
Committing time weekly or monthly for regular adoration can be life-changing. Countless people report not only growing in their faith, but discernment of vocations when spending time with Jesus. Requesting a sub when you can't make it is easy! Simply text SUB to 317-732-5777.
We hope you will make this a priority in your schedule!
"There is no better way for us to encounter Christ than in the Mass and in Eucharistic Adoration." - Fr. Travis
