St. Lawrence Parish RCIA program

Are you interested in joining or learning more about the Catholic Church? The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is “designed for adults who, after hearing the mystery of Christ proclaimed, consciously and freely seek the living God and enter the way of faith and conversion as the Holy Spirit opens their hearts”. The first stage of this process is referred to as the Precatechumenate or “inquiry” period which means that your questions will be answered before you make your final decision to freely become Catholic. Classes begin in September and last through the Easter season. For more information, please contact Kara Tsuleff (Director of Religious Education) 812-537-0019 ext 353 or e-mail:  karatsuleff@comcast.net

Catholic Campaign for Human Development

Next week, we will take up the Collection for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD). CCHD was founded 40 years ago by the bishops of the United States when they realized that the lives of those in need would not improve until the systems and policies that keep people in poverty were changed. For 40 years, CCHD has funded community groups that seek justice and create lasting change.
