Confirmation

This third Sacrament of Initiation celebrates the gift of The Holy Spirit coming down on our candidates. The Holy Spirit gives us the knowledge and courage to do what we can't learn from school or our extracurricular activities including, making decisions that will change our lives or guiding a friend through their struggles. Those interested in learning more about The Holy Spirit can begin preparation in the Fall, starting in 10th grade or above, and will be confirmed in the Spring of the same year. The Youth Ministry Office coordinates this preparation and is looking for speakers willling to show how the Holy Spirit is working in their life. If you have any questions or would like to help with this process, please call Kaitlyn Blandford at 317-466-3365 or email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Registration for 2023-2024 will be available in October.

If you are a Catholic adult and have not celebrated Confirmation, there are options available for preparation. There is also an Adult confirmation retreat each year, hosted by the North Deanery, which adults are encouraged to attend. Once confirmed, a person is a full member of the Catholic Church. Contact This email address is being protected from spambots.

Welcome

Dear Family,

The strength and vitality of our parish community depends on each and every one of our parishioners. Our parish covenant speaks the truth when it asks for us to "participate actively in mass and the sacraments." Our Sunday celebrations give us the opportunity to hear God's Word, partake of the Body and Blood of Christ, interact with other members of our parish family and be renowned by God's grace.

The Eucharist is the center of our life as a faith community! I hope too it is the center of our lives individually. Recognizing what hunger does to the human body we can only imagine what sustained absence from the Eucharist does to the Christian who fully understands the meaning of the meal that Christ brings to us time and again. Absenting ourselves frequently from the table of the Lord will not cause lightning to strike but it will ultimately cause us to be misdirected or disoriented in our lives. We will lose a sense or our connection to God and to one another. Sustained absence can leave us feeling alone, even forgotten. We can become overwhelmed by life for we feel we are up against it by ourselves. The Eucharist gives us strength, deepens our reserve of courage, restores our hope in times of adversity, and sustains us through times of darkness.

Join us each weekend on Saturday or Sunday and "break bread" with us, the bread that gives something more lasting than a full stomach. It is true food for the journey to everlasting life. Let us pray for one another - there are so many needs and, for some, so many obstacles to peace and happiness. Our prayers can aid even those we do not know but to whom we are intimately connected. 

In 2015, we as a parish community celebrated the 60th anniversary of St. Pius X parish. A small parish of about 200 families started in 1955 has grown to a vibrant community of over 1600 families in 2021. We thank all past and present members for helping to sustain this parish over the past 65 years!

Peace,

Father Francis
