Church Budget Giving Envelopes has contacted the parish office to let us know that due to a paper shortage, there will be no February and March envelopes sent. They have secured a permanent supply solution moving forward and send their deepest apologies. Envelopes will resume in April. For those who continue to use envelopes, you can do one of two things, place your check or cash in an envelope, with your name on it so that you can get credit and then put it in the collection or you can sign up for online giving. Just go back to the homepage of the website and click the Give button at the top. It will then walk you through it. For your convenience, a button has been added. Just click it and it will take you to the online giving page. If you choose to give online, please let the office know so that we can discontinue sending envelopes.

2023 Serra Club John D. Kelley Vocations Essay Contest
The Serra Club of Indianapolis is sponsoring its 2023 annual vocations essay contest. It is open to any Catholic student in grades 7 through 12 in parochial, public or homeschool systems in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.
The theme for this year’s contest is:
In one way or another, all the saints had a great devotion to the Eucharist. Moreover, only with the help of the Eucharist did any saint fulfill his or her vocation.
Pick a particular saint and describe their relationship with the Eucharist. How did your saint’s devotion to the Eucharist enable them to fulfill their vocation? How does this saint’s love of the Eucharist inspire you?
For more details and an essay submission form, contact your school religion teacher, REP instructor, or parish catechist/youth minister. Information is also available from Serra Club member, Dick Cannon, at dickc610@gmail.com.
Submitted essays must be postmarked no later than Friday, March 17, 2023.
We currently have sold 50%. THANK YOU! You can buy as many as you want or sell them for us! The first drawing is on Jan. 6th. We now have a new section under “About Us” where we announce the winners.
Please join Prince of Peace, the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, and the world as we celebrate a Eucharistic Revival. This began in the summer of 2022 and concluded in 2025.

Let us Pray
God our Father, it is through the perfect sacrifice of your Son that you offer to all abundance of new life in this present age. We pray that where we experience loss in the life of Grace, you would pour out upon our Archdiocese the saving gifts conveyed through the most holy Body and Blood of your Son. May His Eucharistic life consume us all and revive each of us into His one body and singular mission, welling up to eternal life. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen.
