IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Last Sunday an email was sent to all parishioners regarding the passing of Father Christopher Roberts. Please continue to keep his family, friends, and brother priests in prayer. Read Fr. Roberts' obituary here.
- If you are a parishioner and a professional in the audio/visual field, your parish needs you! If you are willing to offer your consultation, please call Sonya at 317.873.2885 x101 or CLICK HERE to send an email.
- Thank you for cleaning your seating area after Mass. It is very much appreciated. We ask that, out of respect for the priest and for the celebration of the Eucharist, sanitizing takes place once Father exits the nave.
Is the Holy Spirit Nudging You?
Liturgy: "the public work of the people done on behalf of the people."
Sacristans oversee the worship space and sacristy and prepare everything for the liturgy. You will work behind the scenes in cooperation with the Worship Office and clergy.
Shadow other sacristans and be trained by the Worship Office when it's convenient for you. You will be scheduled for Mass when it meets your availability.
Encourage a friend or family member to co-sacristan, and serve together!

Pet Blessing
Several dogs, one cat, a hamster, a tortoise, and a chinchilla all made it over to church for a blessing last weekend, despite the cold and rain!
In total, about 25 pets received a special blessing in honor of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi.
A Diocesan Campaign
The parish's Catholic Ministries Appeal (CMA) goal of $225,493.00 represents our obligation to the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana for diocesan supported ministries and ministries to parishes. We are currently at 23% of that goal. The parish must pay the difference between the goal amount and the amount paid. A mailing from the diocese regarding the Catholic Ministries Appeal will arrive in your mailbox soon.

Weekly Poll
Just for fun!
Happy Feet
Athletic shoes topped last week's poll, but more surprisingly, bare feet had quite a significant showing! And some folks let us know that they've been very comfortable in their slippers these last few months.
Did you know that sneakers got their name because the rubber soles allow you to quietly sneak around? Click here to read the history of sneakers.
