Scope
The
Faith Formation Commission strives to provide the spirit and environment
for learning about and growing in our faith, enriching the lives and
faith of our community and ourselves. We care about our parishioners'
faith journeys and want to offer opportunities to help. We work with
the parish to achieve our goals of being more welcoming, reaching out
to more people, and helping everyone through their life long faith journey
with quality catechesis for all. We need and welcome volunteers to assist
us in these efforts.

Religious Education Office
Volunteers are needed for the variety
of programs coming under religious education for children and adults.
We are searching for individuals with skills of communication, particularly
writing and photography to aid with public relations. Volunteers help
with secretarial and clerical support, and on site baby-sitting during
parent or other adult meetings. We will match your talents with established
goals and opportunities.
Resource Library Room
Located off the narthex in the new
wing, exists to provide books, periodicals, audio/visual tapes and other
materials for the entire parish. Volunteers are needed to staff the
Bookmobile on Sunday mornings and to input data into computer program
and assist in the care and replacement of materials.
Rite Of Christian Initiation Of Adults
This process provides a means for adults
or children to come into the Catholic Church or to receive the sacraments
of Baptism, Eucharist (Communion), and Confirmation. Volunteers are
needed primarily as sponsors for the candidates, but also as members
of a team of welcomers, organizers,
"Pray-ers" and catechists.
RITE
OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF CHILDREN (RCIC):
The Church takes seriously the spiritual development of children. If
your child has missed receiving Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist or
Confirmation, we will assist in discerning how your child can best be
brought into the process of becoming a full member of the Catholic faith.
School Of Religion
The St. Pius X School of Religion helps
form the faith of non-parochial school students from age 3 through high
school. It teaches the religion curriculum of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis,
which presents Catholic doctrine within the four-part framework of the
Catechism of the Catholic Church (creed, sacraments, Christian living
and prayer). The School of Religion enlists dozens of volunteer ministers
in areas including catechesis, Christian service, hospitality and communication.
Special Religious Education
The SPRED program is new to SPX. It
provides a religious education for individuals with special needs. Helper
catechists are needed to provide one-on-one attention and guidance.
Vacation
Bible School
A week long session during the summer
for children ages 3-10 years to celebrate Jesus' love for us in song
and prayer. Volunteers are needed to teach, to aid teachers, and to
coordinate activities. About 20 hours are needed for Vacation Bible
School Week.
If you are interested in being a part of this fun event, please contact
the Religious Education Office at 257-1085.
