The Early Church – Throughout the Easter season we hear about the early church in the Acts of the Apostles. Last week’s reading from Acts refers to the importance of how those early Church members needed to support one another. During this Easter season and throughout the coming year, remember our neophyte, Samantha. She will need the support and encouragement of this faith community.

HOSPITALIZED? If you or someone in your family is hospitalized, please contact the parish office directly at St. Benedict Church to let us know you are there (812-232-8421) You should contact the hospital’s Chaplain’s Office to receive communion during your stay, however, please do not rely on the Chaplain’s office to let the parish know you are admitted.
A bequest is a special way to express gratitude to God for a lifetime of blessings! The ability to make gifts is a good reason to have a will because it allows your legacy to live on and reflect your personal values. Your bequest to the parish is not assessed and 100% will be received by the parish. In addition, your gift reduces assets and may save your loved ones tax expense. Actual wording in your will should be determined by you and your attorney, so contact a qualified estate planning attorney to help you ensure that your loved ones are cared for and your bequests are honored.
Our responsibility to Mother Earth continues. When we educate ourselves about climate change and realize what is happening around the world it is somewhat overwhelming but we are not in this alone. We see corporations and individuals working throughout the world to help create a more sustainable environment. How are you immersing yourself and your family into this movement of caring for God’s creation? Using a phrase we hear a lot today, “Together we can do this!” You can google “Catholicclimatecovenant.org or “careofcreation. org” for more information.
