We have three exciting opportunities on the horizon for spiritual growth at Annunciation Parish. We hope that you will feel free to take advantage of all or any of these offerings to help you take the next step in your relationship with Jesus!

All Parish Retreat

Fr. Godfrey Mullen, OSB will lead our parish in a retreat focusing on discipleship. This is a moment for our entire parish to step aside and dedicate some time to prayer and meditation on who God is calling us to be as disciples. Click here to see the flyer with the schedule. You may RSVP by August 23rd for this retreat by contacting Diana Braun in our Parish Office at (812) 476-3061 or by emailing her at dbraun@evdio.org. 

Study Series on the Mass 

Bishop Robert Barron is releasing a 6-part study series on the Mass. This is a great way to immerse yourself fully into the beauty and mystery of the most fundamental act of Catholic worship. Beginning September 12, each week on Wednesday at 6:00 pm and Saturday at 9:00 am the same presentation will be offered so that you can choose which is more convenient for your schedule. To RSVP for this study, you can contact Julie Rosario at the Parish Office at (812) 476-3061 or email her at jrosario@evdio.org.

The Anima Series

Sometimes we need to step back and ask ourselves some fundamental questions. Bishop Donald Hying's series, Anima, offers us the chance to reflect on the inspiring account of how God's plan for the world gives each of us great dignity and purpose. This beautifully-filmed series will call us to respond to Christ's sacrifice and continue to carry out his mission in his Church. Beginning November 28, each week on Wednesday at 6:00 pm and Saturday at 9:00 am the same presentation will be offered so that you can choose which is more convenient for your schedule. To RSVP for this study, you can contact Julie Rosario at the Parish Office at (812) 476-3061 or email her at jrosario@evdio.org.

The Novena takes place from Friday, August 3, to Friday, September 28. Individuals are urged to sign up for the Novena as part of the USCCB Call to Prayer at www.usccb.org/pray. Those who sign up will receive weekly email or text message reminders to pray and fast along with a fact about Roe to share with others including their two U.S. senators (through NCHLA/Human Life Action).

Additional resources to assist you in promoting the Novena and educating the public on Roe are being posted to the Novena homepage including:

• Fact sheet: Do You Know Roe? featuring nine facts about Roe. These are the nine facts that will accompany the weekly email/text on each of the nine Fridays.

• Fact sheet: Roe v. Wade: Questions and Answers

We are beginning to see the fruits of the Stewards of God's Grace Capital Campaign. Here are new vestments that were purchased for both church campuses, made possible by the campaign and an additional donation. You can also see our new street side signs that offer a positive and clean look to both campuses, which were made possible by an anonymous donor so that we could use our campaign funds for other needed projects. You can also see phase 1 of the renovations made to our school windows at CTK. This will make our school much more energy efficient. You will likely not have the chance to see the new roof over the parish center, but it's there and it's keeping the rain out! Thank you so much for your generosity, which makes all of these projects possible!
