The oldest Catholic Church in Indianapolis...and a real beauty. If you like old school Catholic...organ music, lots of statues, people dressed respectfully (instead of looking like they stopped off on the way to the beach), then this place is for you.
I stopped by to tour the interior and they were about the start a Eucharistic procession! Blest to join in during my short stay in the city
The best thing about Indianapolis is St. John the Evangelist. A must-see while visiting the Indiana Convention Center
My wife and I have made it a habit to attend Christmas Eve mass here and regrettably.We've been deeply disappointed the last two years. We both love the thundous sound of one of the finest pipe organs in Indiana, and they use it only sparingly. We have also been deeply disappointed in the fact that while the topics for the homily on Christmas seem endless, the pastor's output is mediocre at best. Christmas offers a unique opportunity to touch the hearts of children and adults alike and yet somehow, the pastor manages to miss the target. We understand that the evening is to give thanks for our Savior's birth and to celebrate his arrival. It's just that such a revered evening, such an awesome facility and an enthusiastic crowd deserve better.
After 7 yrs. Father Nagle is no longer Pastor. Also the traffic, road closers, construction downtown is a nightmare.
The greeter at the door was very nice and welcoming, I really appreciated that. If you go to Confession here, be sure to be there no later than 11am. I arrived at 11:20 (it goes till 12pm on weeekdays) and waited in line for 40 minutes, I was next in line and then no, Father abruptly leaves. I know he needs to prepare for Mass, but perhaps he should not take insanely long with each penitent. I had been struggling in my faith and this was to be my "coming home" confession, which turned out to be a disappointment. Just make sure to arrive very early for Confession.
Perpetual Adoration here was a blessing. Very welcoming parishioners, and the building was Amazing. Several corners available to have a more private time in the presence of the Lord.
