Our 2019-2020 School Year starts this Wednesday!
Prayer for Blessings for Our School
God of wisdom and might,
we praise you for the wonder of our being,
for mind, body and spirit.
Be with our children as they begin a new school year.
Bless them and their teachers and staff.
Give the strength and grace as their bodies grow;
wisdom and knowledge to their minds as they search for understanding;
and peace and zeal to their hearts.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen.

Religious Education
Volunteers Needed
Looking for a way to get involved and serve in our parish?
We are looking for parishioners interested in sharing our Catholic Faith with the youth of St. Roch in our Sunday Morning religious education program, working with students in grades 1-8 who do not attend Catholic schools. Lessons, materials, and planning support will be provided, and previous experience is not necessary!
If you feel called to serve as a lead teacher, co-teacher, assistant, or to help in some other way, please contact Stephanie Newton in the parish office by phone (317-784-1736) or email at
snewton@strochindy.org
. Thank you
for considering this opportunity to support the faith formation of our children at St. Roch!
