Now that school is back in session, we need help on Sunday evenings after Mass stacking up folding chairs so we can transform half of our worship space back into a gym. Many hands make light work so if you can spare 15-20 minutes, we should be able to make the switch fairly quickly. Contact Joe Burrows or Joe Sheehan with questions.
We need someone to help coordinate our reception for our Tri-Parish Labor Day Mass reception. If interested and available, please contact Melinda Rivelli at 317-283-5508, ext. 1116 or mrivelli@sjoa.org.

Catechists are the backbone of our religious formation programs. This ministry flows from the graces of baptism and is rooted in Christ's call to go out into the world and witness to the Gospel. We are in need of several catechists to cover our 2019-2020 Sunday Faith Formation program. Training, guides and the materials for each grade level are provided by Father Guy and Joe Sheehan. Please contact Joe Sheehan at jsheehan@sjoa.org to learn more about this ministry and our program.
In September, the Office of Young Adult and College Campus Ministry will be hosting their semi-annual Emmaus Group Leader Training.

The Boulevard Place Food Pantry(OUR food pantry) serves an avgerage of 819 clients/month! The current waiting room is designed for 9 with as many as 20 clients waiting. No more than 4 clients can shop at a time because of space constraints. They distributed over 387,000 pounds of food in 2018, stretching the food storage space to the limits. Volunteers on delivery day are now sorting pallets in the parking lot because there's not enough room in the pantry. Consider making a generous capital pledge or gift to Boulevard Place Food Pantry, 4202 Boulevard Place, Indianapolis, IN 46208. Questions can be directed to boulevardplacepantry@gmail.com or 317-846-8885.
