Schedule is set for remainder of listening sessions for pastoral planning process

Criterion staff report

Catholics from across central and southern Indiana are invited to take part in a series of listening sessions that started on Aug. 24 at St. Louis Parish in Batesville and will be part of a pastoral planning process for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.

The rest of the listening sessions are scheduled for the following dates:

  • October 3—6-8 p.m., St. Ambrose Parish, 325 S. Chestnut St., Seymour.
     
  • October 5—10 a.m.-noon, St. Benedict Parish, 111 S. Ninth St., Terre Haute.
     
  • October 19—10 a.m.-noon, St. Anthony of Padua Parish, 316 N. Sherwood Ave., Clarksville.
     
  • October 26—2-4 p.m. CST, St. Boniface Parish, N. State Road 545, Fulda.
     
  • October 30—6:30-8:30 p.m., St. Mark the Evangelist Parish, 535 E. Edgewood Ave., Indianapolis.
     
  • November 6—6:30-8:30 p.m., St. Luke the Evangelist Parish, 7575 Holliday Dr. East, Indianapolis.

The process, which is expected to take place for two years, is aimed at answering three questions: “Where are we today?”; “Where is God calling us to be?”; and “How will we get there together?”

During the pastoral planning process, Catholics in the archdiocese are invited to pray that the Holy Spirit will guide the faithful in listening to God’s word and one another as all the faithful seek together to discern God’s will for the Church in central and southern Indiana.

They are also encouraged to take part in the listening sessions and complete an online survey that is being prepared for the planning process. †
