January 09, 2023 – Eucharistic Renewal Update

Good morning,
Thank you for your commitment and dedication during the first 6 months of our Eucharistic Renewal! As we begin this new year, I want to share 4 resources that I hope will be beneficial to you in your ongoing efforts to foster renewed devotion and love to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament:
  • In November, Fr Eusebius Martis, OSB, gave a presentation to our priests during their presbyterate meeting. During his presentation, he mentioned a series of 31 short videos (about 3 minutes long on average) that he made explaining the different parts of the Mass: elementsofthecatholicmass.com/episodes
  • The National Eucharistic Revival is continually updating its website (eucharisticrevival.org) with new content and resources. In addition to the website itself, new content is regularly uploaded to its YouTube page. Recently, they added a series of short videos featuring many of the Eucharistic Preachers: youtube.com/@eucharisticrevival
  • The Eucharistic Renewal will culminate in a National Eucharistic Congress held in Indianapolis from July 17-21, 2024. Although the vast majority of information is yet to be announced, they have kicked off their website, which will regularly be updated: eucharisticcongress.org
  • Please find attached the January issue of “Encountering the Eucharist,” a monthly handout that was put together by one of our diocese’s Parish Catechetical Leaders as a contribution to our Eucharistic Renewal. It may be used as a bulletin insert or however you best see fit. All 8 issues (June-January) are also available at: www.evdio.org/eucharistic-renewal.html
Lastly, thanks again for your assistance with the traveling Eucharistic Miracle exhibits! We have received a lot of good feedback about them, and the fact that 90 panels have been rotating quite smoothly between 73 different locations for over half a year is totally thanks to all of your efforts! If you ever have any questions about them, please don’t hesitate to contact the Office of Catechesis. If it helps, the schedule, as well as a list of miracles included in each set, has been attached.
 May you all have a blessed feast of the Baptism of the Lord today!
Yours in Christ,
Joel Padgett

“The definitive aim of catechesis is to put people not only in touch but in communion, in intimacy, with Jesus Christ: only he can lead us to the love of the Father in the Spirit and make us share in the life of the Holy Trinity.”—Pope St. John Paul II

FOSTER FRIENDLY IN 2023

Why Become a Foster Friendly Faith Community?

  • Justice, mercy and grace are themes throughout scripture and most faith traditions.
  • People of faith already care deeply about these issues. Statistics show practicing Christians are three times more likely to foster and twice as likely to adopt compared to the general population.
  • Foster care is a non-partisan, unifying issue.
  • Foster care is an upstream issue. It is at the root of a number of current-day social wounds, including homelessness, sex trafficking, suicide and more.

The Diocese of Evansville Office of Family & Life and other key partners is working to create greater support for those who have chosen to become foster parents/families.  Will you take a brief moment to complete this survey?  Simply click the link below.  Thank you!

Hallow
We are excited to announce a partnership with Hallow this Advent. Hallow is a Catholic Prayer and meditation app that helps people deepen their relationship with God and create a daily habit of prayer through audio-guided prayer sessions ranging from 1 to 60 minutes long – there are over 5,000 prayer sessions available on the app!
Our partnership with Hallow includes FREE Hallow Plus subscriptions for all parishioners through Easter! We hope you’ll take advantage of this gift from the parish. In order to have full access to Hallow, including the Advent Pray 25 challenge, you can scan the QR code, then follow the sign up instructions. You can also go the website hallow.com/holyday
If you having difficulties with downloading the app, please call the parish office and we will try to assist you.
Raise Right/Scrip Tips
We currently have Dick’s Sporting Goods cards in $100 denomination in stock.
We also have lower denomination cards on hand and available for a limited time. They make great stocking stuffers.
Make sure to take advantage of the extra earnings during Dazzle Days, November 26-December 9. See flyer, use the enrollment code listed here if you don’t have an account set up yet!
Try to order your cards early so you can for sure get them on time! If you order by Monday mornings at 8:30, the cards should be in by the end of the same week. You can order online, too! We can let you know when your order is ready.
