The Seven Sisters Apostolate is a call to strengthen the Church by ensuring that a Holy Hour is prayed each day of the week for the sole intention of a specific priest or bishop- a "holy wasting" (cf. Mt 26:10) or lavishing of prayer for his deeper conformity to Christ. To learn more about the Seven Sisters Apostolate please contact the parish office.

Our goal is to challenge our faith community to work for social justice in our church, our community, and our world. We have a two fold mission. First, we encourage members of our community to do direct social service for the needs of our local residents and those abroad. Secondly, it is the role of this committee to educate our community about social issues and to bring about a conversion of hearts for social change, which comes from living the Gospel values. Active ministries include issues of social justice within our church, community, nation, and world. Along with Haiti, and disaster relief. For further information please contact John Schroering at 812-482-4915 or contact the parish office.

Welcome (Formally known as CHRP) is a spiritual renewal process held in a weekend retreat format. These retreats- one for men, one for women- are held once a year in February or early March and are combined with the other Parishes in Jasper/Ireland. The retreat team consists of parishioners who have made previous Welcome weekends. These weekends are wonderful opportunities for individual spiritual growth, as well as fellowship and friendship-building with fellow parishioners and others from our faith community.

Over 350 parish members have participated in the Welcome experience over the years. The program is supported and maintained by a Continuation Committee that meets periodically to pray together, plan and ensure the ongoing success of the program. For more information, click here
