A VIRTUS training program will be offered at St. Mary’s on Saturday, October 17. Make plans now to attend! This one time abuse-prevention and identification program is for all adults who work with children on behalf of St. Mary's parish (i.e. as youth ministry volunteers, faith formation catechists and aides, assist with children's choir and altar servers, etc.) Please register online at www.virtus.org.

For more information or assistance registering, please email Michelle (Link:

So you've popped the big question! Now what? The New Albany Deanery is hosting a Marriage 101 day of reflection at Holy Family Church on Saturday, September 19. The day will begin at 8:00am and will help engaged couples learn the tools and skills needed to build a happy, life-long marriage. For more information or to register, please email Jeff Jenkins (jjenkins@aye.net) or contact the deanery office at 945-2000.

 

Theology on Tap:

What do good food and drink have in common with learning about the Catholic faith? They are both things that young adults are hungry for! If you are a young adult (age 23-29) and looking for a easy way to meet people and grow in your faith, the Theology on Tap is for you! This fall, join us on Monday evenings at 6:30pm at Buckheads in Jeffersonville for engaging speakers and fellowship. The first gathering is September 14. For a list of topics, more information or directions, please email Jeff Jenkins (jjenkins@aye.net) or contact the deanery office at 945-2000.

  

Men of St. Mary's:

The day is intended to bring Catholic men of our archdiocese closer to Christ, strengthen families by strengthening husbands and fathers, and help men deal with the secular obstacles placed in front of all of us in today's culture. A registration form may be downloaded ( Link: http://www.mariancenterofindianapolis.com/mensconference/register.htm) or you may contact the Marian Center of Indianapolis for more information at 317-924-3982.
