This year, the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 15, 2019. The 2019 theme will be "Stay With Us." Those who the Community has designated to serve as catechists will be called forth to be commissioned for their ministry. Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith.

Please take a moment to visit http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/how-we-teach/catechesis/catechetical-sunday/index.cfm
and read Bishop Robert Barron's message to us all to remain missionary disciples.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a journey, a conversion to God and what he intends for us. RCIA is the process by which persons who were never baptized or were baptized in another Christian tradition become members of the Catholic Church. Our first inquiry session is Wednesday, September 11th at 7 p.m. in the church. If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about the Catholic Church then please join us. All are welcome, including Catholics who would like to learn more about the great Mysteries of our Faith. Questions?

Safe and Sacred is the child protection program for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. The training program is completely conducted online and includes processing of a background check and Code of Conduct. The purpose of the “Safe and Sacred” program is to provide easier access to child protection training for clergy, employees, and volunteers. It allows us to broaden the focus of the training to increase awareness of all forms of child abuse. Safe and Sacred includes an assessment that must be taken and passed to ensure that training content is learned and can be applied. Who is Required to Sign Up for this Program? Safe and Sacred Training is a requirement for all volunteers regardless of their ministry area. If you are 18 years of age or older and you volunteer in any ministries here at St. Mark, you must comply with all the requirements prior to volunteering.
