We thank you, dear parishioners, for all the help you have given in responding to our many requests: diapers, prizes and food for our Senior luncheons, delivery people, and the Coat Drive, which had a tremendous response. We are grateful.
Angel Tree gifts are due December 2-3. Please be sure to include a tag with the child’s name and leave them in front of the St. Michael altar.

People Needed to Lead a Decade of the Rosary before Mass. As a part of the Eucharistic Revival, we will be praying a decade of the Rosary immediately before each Mass asking our Blessed Mother to strengthen our devotion to her Son. If you would like to help lead this prayer, contact Alexander Mingus.
We are in need of additional altar servers. Boys and girls in grades 3-12 are encouraged to consider serving. Contact Philip Jackey or Matt Duffy with questions.
We still need 1 Middle School Volleyball Coach and a few Basketball Coaches. Contact Brett Herschel to indicate interest. You do not need to be a parent to be a coach, just a sports enthusiast who is good with preteens.
Share your faith with the Next Generation. Psalm 78 says, "What we have heard and know; things our ancestors have recounted to us. We do not keep them from our children; we recount them to the next generation, the paiseworthy deeds of the Lord and His strength, the wonders that he performed." We are all called to pass on the faith to children. Do you feel a special call to share this faith that you love with the children and teens of our parish? If so, we are looking for Catechists and assistants for Sunday Faith Formation. If you are interested and would like to learn more, contact Claire Thompson at 317-283-5508, ext. 1124.
People are needed to help fund plans for the Eucharistic Revival. Anyone who is interested in helping to fund some of our parish plans for the Eucharistic Revival that is leading up to the 10th Eucharistic Congress that will be hosted here in Indianapolis on July 17-21, 2024, please contact Matt Duffy for more information.
We have a group of parishioners who so graciously share our faith by bringing the Eucharist weekly to shut-ins and by praying with them. If you know a parishioner who is homebound and would like to have someone from this group visit, call the parish office at 317-283-5508. And, if you would like to share your faith in this manner, please contact David Fisher.
