Lenten Penance Services This Lent, the Archdiocese of Indianapolis asks all parishes to participate in an evening entitled “The Light is On For You” in which the Sacrament of Penance is offered in each parish/cluster parish.

Catholic Faith
Things We Want You to Know
We’re Christian… “Are you Christian or are you Catholic?” We hear that a lot, and our answer is—yes! Yes we’re Catholic and yes we’re Christian. Jesus is the center of our lives and our Catholic faith calls us to a personal relationship with Him as well as membership in His Body, the Church. We love the Bible… The Catho-lic Church is Bible-based! We pro-claim Sacred Scripture at daily Mass and even more on Sundays. The prayers of the Mass and many of our personal prayers use the words of the Bible. Holy Scripture is incorporated with our lifelong religious education.
