About 2nd Sunday: 2nd Sunday Young Adult Gathering and Lunch is for Young Adults approximately ages 18-35 (and includes Child Care). The 2nd Sunday Young Adult Group has been formed at St. Agnes to socially and spiritually connect both young adults and families with young children (even if parents are over age 35). Helping young adults & families of our parish to connect and get to know each other is the primary goal. Please try to RSVP so we will have enough food & babysitters.A Mass of Christian Burial will be held for Donald Moore on Wednesday, October 16, at 11:00 a.m. at Saint Agnes. There will be no calling prior to the Mass, but a luncheon will be served immediately following the Mass in the Parish Hall. All are invited. He will be inurned at a later date at a cemetery in Notre Dame, Indiana.
Eternal rest grant unto Donald, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. ~Amen~MEN’S GROUP: Our Men's Small Group is held on Sundays, in the PLC House following the 10:30 a.m. Mass.
You will be fed, we'll have a great discussion concerning a current moral issue, and you will be part of our brotherhood seeking to be disciples of Christ. We'll be sure to wrap things up by 1:30 p.m. each week. Men of all ages are welcome!
Questions? Contact Deacon Russ. 812-988-6995. We’d be most happy to have you join us!
The Group typically meets in the Youth Barn from 6:30-8:30 PM. We meet every Wednesday so put it on your calendar! Please join us to pray the Gospel, enjoy snacks & play games! Bring a Friend!

THIS IS OUR STORY – THIS IS OUR FAMILY
Our identity As Catholics means that we are the inheritors of the deeds of holy men and women who for 2000 years have built a great civilization and spread the Gospel throughout the world. Church history is not just the recitation of popes, people, places, and events; it is a story of adventure, intrigue, rebellion, reform, and devotion. This story is our story; this is our family. If we know our past, and how we fit into the story, we will be better prepared to face whatever may come in the future.
Join us for a 20 session study on Catholic Church history starting September 15, on Sunday mornings, 9:10 – 10:25, downstairs in the lower level of the church. It is ok if you can't make it to all 20 sessions, just come to as many of the sessions as you are able.
We would love to see you there!

Are you or someone you know interested in learning more about the Catholic Faith?
Do you want to learn more about our Catholic faith and the process to join the faith? Or maybe you were raised Catholic, but never received the Sacrament of Confirmation & want to now as an adult.
Please call Deacon Russ at 812-988-6995 and he can explain the process.
Several parishioners have told me they are following along with Fr. Mike Schmitz in The Bible in a Year or The Catechism in a Year podcasts. I am encouraged to hear that. It’s not too late, you can always jump in starting with Day 1. Visit www.ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear or www.ascensionpress.com/ciy.
You can start with day 1 and continue with 1 new episode daily and end a year from now or you can do multiple episodes and end on December 31st. Each episode is about 20 minutes long, so not a huge time commitment.
