From Our Pastor
My dear friends in Christ,
As you will notice, tremendous work has been accomplished this week on the parking lot for which I am most grateful. The area is beginning to take on a whole new look and once the lights are installed on the concrete islands our parish campus will be further enhanced. If all continues to go as scheduled, we should see the finished product in the very the near future.
A retreat committee is being formed to encourage members within the parish to take advantage of making a Cursillo (which means a short course in Christianity). This is a wonderful retreat experience which helps to establish a personal relationship with our Lord. I have seen the results of Cursillo and the positive impact it has made on our diocese. I strongly recommend that you take advantage of this opportunity to grow closer to our Lord.
Also, going on throughout the diocese at this time are the annual Wisdom Days which are sponsored by Catholic Charities of Evansville. You will notice elsewhere in the bulletin, the Wisdom Days being held in Huntingburg and Vincennes. Wisdom Days are always informative and gives the opportunity to meet our brothers and sisters from throughout the diocese.
When you look around and see our beautiful church, we are reminded of the sacrifices that our ancestors made to pass along the faith. As a parish, we are recipients of those who went before us. Our Lord is asking us to continue this great tradition by passing on our Catholic faith to our children and to encourage others by example.
May the Lord bless and keep you.
FatherWalker.

The St. Boniface grotto is modeled after the grotto at Lady of Lourdes in France and was built beneath St. Boniface Church in 1914. The flood of 1937 filled the grotto with 3 feet of water damaging several statues and causing it to close soon after. The grotto reopened in 1972 asa mini-museum, displaying St. Boniface relics. Tours are led by volunteers on Sundays during October, 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.Private tours can be arranged by appointment anytime. The grotto is located at 418 North Wabash in Evansville.
