Last week, I was privileged to attend, as I do each year, the annual Chrism Mass for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. I am always inspired by seeing all of the priests of the archdiocese process in, and I am humbled when hearing them recommit to the call to serve the Church. There was beautiful music from the cathedral choir, a full assembly reciting prayers with conviction and singing with real joy, and the opportunity to celebrate Mass and share in the Eucharist.

Safety Concern
Parents, we have a number of students who live close to BCHS or are dropped off by a city bus and must cross Kessler Blvd. to get to school. If your child is one of these students, please emphasize to him or her the importance of crossing the street at the light (Kessler and Crittenden). We have students who are crossing where there isn't a crosswalk and that presents a safety hazard for oncoming traffic, and more importantly, puts the student at risk. Administration will talk to the students about this, but your help and support is greatly appreciated.

Trojan Treasures Garage Sale
Saturday, April 22 ~ 7 a.m. - noon
Join us on Saturday and see what treasures you can find at the annual BCHS garage sale! This year, in addition to the traditional garage sale, BCHS will host a “virtual estate sale.” This will help BCHS generate more profit for valuable items that sometimes sell for much less than their value during a garage sale. Examples of estate items that individuals may donate include jewelry, mid-century modern or antique furniture, fur coats, designer handbags, wool area rugs, fine art, unique or rare pieces, or vintage clothing.
Donate your items
Donations are still being collected and can be dropped off in the auxiliary gym (Door #10) on Friday, April 21, between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. or you can leave them in the
gray container by the BCHS softball field. Limited pickup of items will be available on Friday, April 21. To have an item picked up, click here.
Volunteers are needed!
Volunteers are needed to help set up this Friday and at the sale this Saturday.
Click here to help!
Questions about Garage Sale? Contact Amy Solomon at 317-255-3516 or afsol@comcast.net.
