Announcements
Welcome visitors
To our out-of-town visitors we appreciate you coming to our parish to worship God with us. We hope that you are having a great visit to Indianapolis and that you have a fun time with your family or friends in our hospitable town. We invite you to stay for brunch in St. Mary’s Hall following Sunday morning’s liturgy.  Before you leave the parish today, or town in the next few days, we want you to know that we have nut, poppy seed, and various fruit rolls plus pizzelles, kolachy, kifli and biscotti for sale. Get some for your festivities. Also please browse though our bookstore on display in St. Mary’s Hall. Thank you for coming.
All Souls
The first All Souls Saturday is this week on February 11^th.  Since we are remembering the deceased individuals of your family by name Fr. highly recommends that everyone make a special effort to attend these liturgies so that you can pray for your departed loved ones. Dates of 2012 All Souls Saturdays: Feb 11, Mar 3, Mar 10, Mar 17 and May 26. For those who don’t know, the concluding part of All Souls Saturday liturgies is called the Panachida or Memorial Service for the Faithful Departed. Each family’s deceased loved ones are named. If you have new departed loved ones that you would like included please submit them to the rectory office. (You don’t have to submit a new form if nothing has changed since last year.)
 
Iconostasis
Bishop John Kudrick has offered the icon screen from St. Gregory’s parish in Lakewood OH to our parish. Volunteers from the Indianapolis area will be delivering it to our church on Saturday evening. We could use your help unloading the icon screen and other items. Please come to Saturday’s 5:30 PM liturgy and plan to stay afterwards to assist placing the items into the church. The beautifully hand-written iconostasis will replace our existing iconostasis, which has served us well. We want to thank Al Macek and Glen Grabow, 2 of the original 4 founding parish families, for their dedication of time and money in building and enhancing our existing iconostasis. God grant Al, Glen and our volunteers happy and blessed years!
