Discover Your God-Given "Charisms" Through Called & Gifted
Starting October 21
Called and Gifted is a program that helps to uncover how the Holy Spirit is uniquely at work in your life. This powerful discernment process helps you recognize the charisms (spiritual gifts) you've been given as a channel of God's goodness for others. The program is a mixture of videos and discussion diving into topics such as discernment, intentional discipleship and the Holy Spirit.
Below, Lindsay Edwards shares how Called & Gifted has personally impacted her life.

Fraudulent Email Reminder
Many parishioners recently reported receiving an email from Fr. Travis that he did not send. This is a reminder that scammers love to pretend to be clergy to get individuals to click on emails or to send money.
If you get an email that sounds something like "please respond, I need your help" or asking for gift cards or cash from any of our clergy, don't respond. Call the Parish Office at 317-873-2885 if you are in any way unsure and we can confirm all legitimate communications.
